Welcome to the website of Alpine Trekking. Let’ start with a quick introduction….
We are Ian and Seb. You can learn a little more about us here. Having both spent a lot of time in the mountains around Annecy (and loved every minute of it), we decided to share some of the experinces we have had.
In short, this website is designed to do nothing more than what is suggested above. That is, to provide a comprehensive database of alpine treks, suitable for all levels of ability and interest. Please note, this is a work in progress. We are always working to add more hikes to the database. Initially our focus has been on Bornes Massif and the Aravis Chain, but we will expand on this in time.
To be clear, we are NOT selling anything – we are not guides (although we are working on it!) and we do not work for any tour company. Please feel free to use the info here at your leisure. We suggest you take a look here at some general info that apply to all of the trekking itinieraries that we have available on this site.
Summer or winter, treeking in the Alps guarantees some stunning walks, in a breath-taking environment. That said, there are some a number of things that you should take into consideration on your days out to make them both safer and more enjoyable. We have pulled together some useful tips and information to help you out.
Located in the northern French Alps, between a mountainous area (the Bornes and Bauges massifs), the rolling fertile Albanais and the well-preserved Filière region, the territory of Annecy unites a wide variety of elements: lake, mountains, plains, rivers
