This second volume of two guidebooks to walking in the Haute Savoie includes 30 beautiful walks in the area between Chamonix and Annecy. It is perhaps the most popular location for British visitors to the French Alps, with ascents in the Faucigny/Haut Giffre region (overlooking Chamonix), Cluses, the Samöens/Sixt areas, plus the Aravais/Bourne region around the beautiful town of Annecy.

Seasons

June to October. Late snow may affect walking in May and June, and huts close in mid-September.

Centres

Samöens and Sixt near Chamonix, La Clusaz, Thônes, Annecy

Difficulty

Straightforward alpine walking, these are half- to full-day routes, with few problems. Sterner than Haute Savoie North.

Must See

Views to Mont Blanc, Lac Annecy from above on a clear day, alpine flowers and wildlife in unfrequented alps.
