Route description

Voie Communale Des Greppons, 74290 Alex
Starting and ending addresses
Park at the end of the road at Villard Dessus in Alex. Simply follow the forest path to the chalet at l'Aulp Riant Dessous and then l'Aulp Riant Dessus (beware of herds, but do not let them wander). At the second chalet, turn right to reach the edge of the mountain, then right for a final short climb to Roche Muraz. Enjoy the beautiful view of Lake Annecy and La Tournette. To return, either take the same path or go left. However, this path is steep and very stony, making it easy to slip. Finally, take the forest road back to the parking lot.
