What you can expect

  • Embark on an original hiking tour in the heart of the Roc des Tours massif and explore the astonishing rock formations of the lapiaz, sculpted by time and the elements.

    This outing takes you through a pristine alpine environment, with limestone formations, alpine pastures and panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. As you hike, your mountain tour leader will introduce you to the geological history of the massif, the distinctive features of the karst landscape, and the fauna and flora adapted to this unique mineral environment.

    The route alternates between accessible rocky passages, alpine trails and observation areas, offering a complete immersion in the world of the mountains.

    Depending on the season and conditions, it is possible to observe marmots, birds of prey or herds grazing on the mountain pastures. Binoculars can be provided during the activity so you can fully enjoy the sightings.

    This hiking tour is for people who want to discover a wilder, more rugged mountain, far from the usual routes, in a friendly and educational atmosphere.

    Departure from Le Grand-Bornand, about 45 minutes from Annecy.
