    Hiking

    This fun, marked trail starts from the square at Baban. Through a rocky maze, you will discover the tannes, caves and glaciers of Margériaz. The tannes are limestone chasms dug by erosion, which can reach 100 meters deep! Some of these tannes are also coolers, that is, they are deep enough to turn rainwater into ice. Moreover, until the beginning of the 1900s, this ice cream was extracted and then sold in Chambéry and Aix-les-Bains!
