Hike to Tête du Parmelan & Grotte de l'Enfer

The Parmelan is a mountain in the Bornes Massif and one of the most popular hikes in the Annecy area. The mountain can be seen in the background of the photo above, taken from Parc Charles Bosson. This page describes partially the itinerary that I followed (I made a detour through Grotte de l’Enfer instead of going back directly).

Hike to Pointe de la Rochette & Rocher du Roux

After returning from Japan, I spent the summer in Annecy, in the mountainous Haute-Savoie area of France. For my first hike, I went to Pointe de la Rochette and Rocher du Roux (actually, just a viewpoint nearby), near La Tournette (the highest mountain bordering Lake Annecy) in the Bornes Massif.
