This loop takes in farmland and forest to reach the hamlet of La Combe de Sillingy and the Bornachon orientation table.
There are numerous views of the Alps and Mont Blanc along the way.
This rather long but not particularly difficult walk takes you on a tour of Sillingy and its surrounding hamlets.
Close to Annecy, the Tour de Sillingy is a varied loop, with views of nearby Mandallaz and Montagne d'Age.
From the village church, you'll reach the hamlet of La Combe, nestled on the Bornachon hill. Thanks to its slightly overhanging position, the commune of Sillingy offers wide-open views of the Annécien basin, the pre-Alpine massifs and Mont Blanc in the distance. The Bornachon orientation table will help you appreciate this panorama.
In the midst of beautiful countryside, you'll make your way between the valleys of Vaulx and Sillingy, passing through Crêt d'Angely. The route also takes you to the foot of Montagne d'Age, the last link in the Salève chain before the Gorges du Fier.
Finally, just before you return to your starting point, you'll have the chance to discover the natural site of the Puits de l'Homme marshes.
