Hiking in the heart of the typical landscapes of the Parc naturel régional du massif des Bauges. Between mountain pastures, torrents and forests, explore the Saint Ruph valley, nestled between the peaks of Arcalod and Sambuy.
From the Pont de Saint Ruph, high above the commune of Faverges-Seythenex, the route starts on a forest trail.
As you emerge from the undergrowth, you'll enjoy a magnificent view of the impressive cliffs on the eastern face of Arcalod. You may even catch a glimpse of chamois. The view opens out onto the surrounding peaks. Behind you, in the distance, La Tournette and Le Charvin. On your left, La Sambuy culminates.
At the Col d'Orgeval, the landscape opens up to all the peaks of the Hautes Bauges. To the right, Arcalod, to the left, Chaurionde. Below, the Orgeval chalets.
The loop continues over the balconies of La Sambuy. Along the way, you'll have a chance to explore the goat-herding pastures of Seythenex, before returning to your starting point.
Whatever your hike, remember to pack cereal bars, plenty of water, sunglasses, sunscreen, a small first-aid kit, and clothing appropriate to the season and weather forecast.
