This route allows you to visit some of the Aravis’ traditional mountain chalets, some of which are still used to make cheese. The path goes through lush meadows surrounded by magnificent scenery. A cow’s life can’t be all bad!

One of the best kept secrets locally, of considerable difficulty because of its very steep sections. There's an auberge at the summit. Slope : 10%

You can do it! The signposted direction was chosen to make the only climb on the circuit as easy as possible and to allow you to stay close to the lake, especially for the section after Talloires.

From the Col de Tamié, it is only a short detour to the Abbey, where you can try the monks' famous cheese.

Also called the "Prince of Wales" in honour of one of the most prestigious visitors to have cycled the route. The view of Mont-Blanc from the Col des Aravis is not to be missed.

Quieter than the Aravis, with a superb, sinuous descent.

A supeb way to discover the varied scenery of the Aravis, Faucigny and Bornes areas. If you like hard climbs, and aren't put off by a short section of dirt track, the traverse of the Plateau des Glières is an excellent challenge.

A very athletic circuit that culminates with an ascent of the Col de la Colombière. Cycling the route clockwise minimises the time spent on the busy main road through the Arve Valley and allows you to climb the shady side of the Colombier.

If you hate steep climbs, this is not the ride for you. Great view overlooking the lake.

One of the area's great classics, with a beautiful descent between Serraval and St-Ferréol, and an easy return leg along the Annecy Cycleway.

Start by following the Pont de la Caille Circuit, and then continue through Cruseilles.

Very nice road with south facing bends, facing the Tournette mount. Less crowded, but much more difficult than the Aravis Pass Gradient : 7%

Very close to Annecy, it start as for the Tour of the Montagne d'Age. During the descent, the views over the city, the lake and ranges are epic.

An easy tour to see the hidden-side of this little mountain from Annecy.
