Route description
Route Des Challes, 74230 La Balme-de-Thuy
Starting and ending addresses
Bornes
Start from the church at La Balme de Thuy.
Follow the signs up to the pass.
You can either go straight up to the first head or take the path on the right to reach the Signal and enjoy the view of Lake Annecy and the Plateau des Glières.
Then return along the same path. The path to the first head (Arpettaz) is not clearly marked. Go up to the left and reach the cliff with a large arrow on it.
Then just follow the path that follows the 3 heads.
The way back passes through the Lapiaz, so follow the yellow marks on the ground to avoid getting lost.
The return path takes a small road back to the village. It is possible to turn right before reaching the village to reach a viewpoint over the valley.
