What you can expect

Enjoy a half-day in the great outdoors, with spectacular panoramas, legendary stories, and the discovery of the Savoyard landscapes.

Accompanied by a mid-mountain guide, you will follow a hiking route that is accessible to both beginners and more experienced hikers, with no particular technical difficulty. The trail winds through alpine pastures and forests, gradually offering exceptional views of the Aix basin, Chambéry, and the surrounding mountains.

Throughout the hike, Anaïs, your guide, will offer you breaks to better understand the landscapes before you. She will explain the formation of the Bauges and Chartreuse mountains, how to read the terrain, and the major geological stages that shaped this unique region. Those who are curious will also be able to discover the local legends linked to certain iconic peaks and passages, ranging from popular beliefs to ancient tales.

At the summit, the Croix du Nivolet offers an impressive 360-degree panorama, a true natural balcony overlooking lakes, valleys, and plains. A special moment to admire, photograph, and simply take time to contemplate.

An ideal excursion to learn about mountain hiking, understand the Savoyard landscapes, and enjoy a friendly, guided, and enriching experience in the heart of unspoiled nature.
