Hike along the Fier in Nâves-Parmelan / Cascade de Grattepanche
In the Spring of 2020, I went on a loop between Annecy-le-Vieux and Nâves-Parmelan: Starting from Vignières near where I live, I crossed the Fier and walked along the river, then visited Cascade de Grattepanche (Grattepanche Waterfall).
Hike to Cascade d'Angon, Pont des Fées, Belvédère du Bois des Hêtres & Col de la Forclaz

Cave & Waterfall of Seythenex
The Cave & Waterfall of Seythenex (Grotte & Cascade de Seythenex) are natural sites at the foot of the Bauges mountains, down from Col de Tamié and Pointe de la Sambuy. The waterfall is formed by the Saint-Ruph torrent which pours from 45 meters high into large pools, on the way to Lake Annecy. A footbridge and staircases enable visitors to walk up to the top of the waterfall. As to the cave, it is the only one open to the general public in Haute Savoie. It has 1km of galeries and passages, with 250m accessible as part of a guided tour.
Hike to Cascade d'Angon & Ermitage de Saint-Germain
After the Roc de Chère, I continued on my loop around Lake Annecy: My next stop was the center of the village of Talloires. The short path to the so called Cascade d’Angon (Waterfall of Angon) starts there. The waterfall is at the end of a slippery trail carved in the rock. I then kept going up, in the direction of the Ermitage de Saint-Germain. Saint Germain was a monk who founded the abbey of Talloires, on the shore of Lake Annecy, in the 11th century. The ermitage is a church built on the location where he used to come for retreat. There is also a great view on the lake from there. I then went back down to Talloires.
