Hike to Montagne des Frêtes & Champ Laitier
On New Year’s Day 2023, I went on a hike to Montagne des Frêtes and Champ Laitier, near Plateau des Glières. I took a Sibra winter shuttle to get there: Although they are in place to serve the nordic skiing resort (until the end of March), there was no snow at all but it was still convenient for hiking.
Hike in Réserve Naturelle de Carlaveyron
Last summer, I went on a hike in Réserve Naturelle de Carlaveyron, near Le Brévent above Chamonix.

Hike to Col des Nantets, Col de l'Aulp & Col de la Forclaz: From Thônes to Doussard
In spring 2021, I walked from Thônes to Doussard, passing though 3 saddles: Col des Nantets, Col de l’Aulp and Col de la Forclaz.
Hike to Circuit Jean-Jacques Rousseau (Thônes)
In the fall of 2020, right after walking Circuit du Calvaire in Thônes, I went on another loop called Circuit Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Like the loop with a similar name in Chambéry (Promenade de Jean-Jacques Rousseau), it is named after Genevan philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who stayed in the area for a day. The loop passes by Manoir de la Tour, the location of a story, “L’Idylle des Cerises”, recounted in his book “Les Confessions”.
