Starting from Le Chevran, you’ll hike along the trails through the forest, enjoying a magnificent view of the Arve Valley. After a steep climb, you’ll reach the Plateau d’Agy, before continuing on to Saint-Sigismond, a peaceful haven high in the mountains.

This first stage immerses you in nature with a gradual climb beneath the deciduous trees of Chevran. The reward: a breathtaking panoramic view of the Arve Valley. Continue on to the Plateau d’Agy, a vast alpine expanse perfect for hiking, where you can admire varied landscapes ranging from alpine meadows to forests. The day ends in the quiet, authentic village of Saint-Sigismond, at an elevation of 900 m. It’s the perfect place to recharge in the heart of nature. Recommended accommodations for the night (subject to availability): - Romarica Bed and Breakfast – 2 people: 450, Les Bas Choseaux – 74 300 SAINT-SIGISMOND +33(0)4 50 34 37 74 / mf.bielicki@wanadoo.fr / www.romarica.com - La Ferme des Cousines *** Vacation Rental – 8 people: 826, route des Alluaz – 74 300 SAINT-SIGISMOND +33(0)6 10 23 25 27 / lafermedescousines@gmail.com / www.lafermedescousines.com No matter what hike you're planning, be sure to pack cereal bars, plenty of water, sunglasses, sunscreen, a small first-aid kit, and clothing appropriate for your outing based on the season and the forecast.
