What you can expect
Embark on an original hike in the heart of the Roc des Tours massif and explore the amazing rock formations of the lapiaz, sculpted by time and the elements.
This outing takes you through a preserved alpine environment, among limestone reliefs, alpine pastures, and panoramic vantage points of the surrounding mountains. As you walk, your mountain tour leader will tell you about 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 in the alpine pastures. Binoculars can be made available during the activity so you can fully enjoy the observations.
This hike is for people who want to discover a wilder, more mineral mountain, far from the usual routes, in a friendly and educational atmosphere.
Departure from Grand-Bornand, about 45 minutes from Annecy.
