Absolutely no need for a car! The Haute-Savoie's bus services will take you from Annecy station to the start of this 5-day hike and bring you back at the end. Take your time during this first stage to admire the lapiaz (limestone pavements) of Le Parmelan.
This first stage, starting from Naves, will take you to the Parmelan refuge, where you'll spend your first night.
On the way, you'll pass the Captain Anjot memorial, witness to a historic battle during the Second World War.
On the final stretch, the limestone plateau and lapiaz of Parmelan await you from the Grand Montoir (or Petit Montoir, a longer but less rugged path).
Once you've reached the highest point of this first stage, take in the breathtaking panorama of Lake Annecy, Mont Blanc and the surrounding peaks.
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.
