オートサボアのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Still as beautiful as ever, but beware of the exposed and dizzying passage

A panoramic view of Lake Annecy, the Tournette mountain, and the alpine pastures. A mountain pass that can mark the summit of a hike, with a refreshment stand just steps away for a lunch break on sunny days.

Each of these crosses, which the traveler often encounters in the fields or, as here, on the mountaintops—in this case combined with a beautiful view of the lake and the opposite shore—is a sign commemorating the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. “Here on earth, His memory exists, but in the Kingdom of Heaven is His presence: this presence is the joy of those who have already attained salvation. Remembrance is our comfort, we who are still wanderers, traveling toward our homeland.” (Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, c. 1090–1153)

The refuge will be closed for renovations in 2026 and 2027. Located on the edge of a nature reserve, bivouacking is only permitted near the refuge; it is prohibited above it. Dogs and drones are also prohibited in nature reserves.

We were there at the end of September 2024, and there was already a lot of snow. Be sure to check the weather conditions beforehand. The snow made the hike significantly more challenging. Many people weren't well prepared.

At the foot of the Tournette, the Pré Verel refuge is a great place to eat and spend the night. The atmosphere is friendly and the cuisine is made with local produce. You can even pitch a tent there. A great place to stay!

a very beautiful via ferrata for everyone, without vertigo

nice views
