Trek - From Annecy to the Tournette by the crests

During this trek, departing from the old town of Annecy, we offer a selection of itineraries with exceptional views of Lake Annecy and its mountains. It will take place over three days in total on the east side of the lake (Massif des Bornes). The goal is to reach the Tournette (2351m), the highest peak overlooking the lake, by the ridges. The trek will end at the Forclaz pass but the adventure will continue for the more adventurous, with a paragliding flight (surcharge) to the setting sun. It is a physically demanding course with many air passages, especially during the ascent of the Tournette.
