Hike to Semnoz: From Basilique de la Visitation to Crêt de Châtillon
In mid-Spring, I went back to Semnoz: Starting from Basilique de la Visitation in Annecy, I took a series of trails to the summit of the mountain, the Crêt de Châtillon.

Hike to Taillefer (Spring 2018)
Hike to Tête du Danay & Lac des Confins (La Clusaz)
In spring, I went on a hike to La Clusaz: I climbed up Tête du Danay, a mountain located between La Clusaz and Le Grand-Bornand, then reached Lac des Confins.
Hike to Salève: From Col du Mont Sion to Etrembières
Earlier this year, I went on a hike to Salève, a mountain in the Jura that overlooks the south-west side of Geneva but is actually located in Haute-Savoie. There are many trails to reach the plateau at the top of Salève and walk on once up there. For myself, I decided to cross the mountain along its length, starting from Col du Mont Sion and finishing at Etrembières.
Hike to Mont Veyrier & Mont Baron (Spring 2018)
Last spring, I went on a hike to Mont Veyrier and Mont Baron, two mountains on the north-east of Lake Annecy.
Hike to Montagne de la Biolle & Mont de Corsuet
Last spring, I went on a hike to mountains near Lac du Bourget: Montagne de la Biolle and Mont de Corsuet, located at the southern tip of the Massif de la Chambotte in the Jura mountains.
Hike to Roc de Chère & Baie de Talloires
As the first hike of spring 2018, I went back to the Roc de Chère on the eastern shore of Lake Annecy. I also visited the Baie de Talloires while I was in the area.
Promenade de Jean-Jacques Rousseau (Chambéry)
The Promenade de Jean-Jacques Rousseau is a short and easy walk in Chambéry that follows the footsteps of Genevan philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau. It starts in the Old Town of Chambéry at Parc de la Calamine and goes up to Les Charmettes, a house where Rousseau lived with Madame de Warens between 1736 and 1742. It then loops back by passing through the Parc de Buisson-Rond and the Château de Boigne.
I didn’t actually walk the whole loop: It was getting late and dark so I went down to the city directly once I reached Les Charmettes.
Hike to Crêt du Maure (Semnoz)
A few weeks after the Circuit Central, I came back for a hike at the foot of the Semnoz. This time I went to Crêt du Maure, passing by a few viewpoints along the way, with a good view on Lake Annecy and the Bornes mountains to the east.
