Description of the route by the creator
Park at the large parking lot of the Sambuy resort. Follow the signs to the top of Sambuy and then turn right to continue on the wide path. It is also possible to take the same path for the outward and return journey. This allows you to make a loop. Once arrived at the combe de Sambuy, follow the signs to the col de la Sambuy. Turn right to reach the small Sambuy and see the view on the lake of Annecy. Then go back and take the blue marked path to reach the top of the Sambuy peak. Be careful, this path is very steep and you have to use your hands to climb to the top. Do not do it if you have vertigo. Go back down to the combe de Sambuy then follow the signs to go back to the station through the Pas de l'Ours.
