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.
