Nice gentle climb from Faverges. Several options are available at the top of the pass. Buy the famous Tamié cheese at the Abbaye Notre Dame or head to Ugine via Marthod on pleasant small roads, otherwise join Albertville or Chambéry.

A former fortress. Today it is a leisure center with various activities. You can even drive up by car - there are ample parking spaces. Please check the opening hours in advance. It is not open every day.

A pleasant path along the banks of the Montmin stream, then along the edge of the Eau Morte. A few roots, but nothing difficult. Flooding is possible depending on the season.
