Snowshoe hike on Plateau de Beauregard & Frêtes de Colomban
Winter hike in Le Grand-Bornand
In the winter of 2020, I visited yet another ski resort near Annecy. This time, I headed to Le Grand-Bornand in the Bornes mountains. I first walked a trail in Vallée du Bouchet then took a cable car and walked below Roc des Arces between the stations of Télécabine du Rosay and Télécabine de la Joyère.
Winter hike to Tête du Danay & Espace Nordique des Confins
During winter 2020, I visited another ski resort near Annecy. This time, I headed to La Clusaz, at the foot of the Aravis mountains: The resort is mostly known for its alpine skiing slopes but is also has extensive nordic skiing tracks, as well as prepared tracks for snowshoes and walking. I walked on those tracks and slightly beyond in order to go up to Tête du Danay, where I had already been during spring. I also walked around Espace Nordique des Confins.
Winter hike on Plateau des Glières
Last winter, I went on a walk at the cross-country ski resort on Plateau des Glières, in the Bornes mountains.
Snowshoe hike on Plateau du Semnoz
Last winter, I tried snowshoeing and visited a few of the nordic skiing resorts around Annecy. Most of them have prepared tracks (with packed snow) for walking and snowshoes. The first resort I visited was the one closest to Annecy, at Station du Semnoz.
