By the water: the tour of Lac d'Annecy, the Léman balcony trail or the Bout du Lac reserve, flat and family-friendly.

At altitude, the classics: the Désert de Platé, the trails of the Maison du Salève, and the great loop of the Tour du Mont-Blanc for seasoned walkers.

Access to the trails is free; only some car parks or access lifts may charge. Each listing shows the starting point and the commune.

Bring proper footwear, water and check the weather: in the mountains conditions change fast, and snow can close high-altitude trails until June.
