Presentation

A gradual hike from the Aillons-Margériaz 1000 station to the top of the ski area, at 1543 m altitude. At the summit, a magnificent panorama of the Massif des Bauges awaits you! The return trip over the ridges extends the pleasure.

D/ Visitor center parking lot

1/ Follow the road north-east to the end. Turn right on a path rising through the meadows to a track, then right again on this track. You will pass several ski lifts.

2/ At a bend to the left before the Mont Pelat chairlift (alt. 1130 m), turn right onto the path indicated by the sign: "Morbié 45 min - Col de la Sciaz 1h05."

3/ At around 1245 m, cross an enclosure (yellow arrows) and continue straight ahead (southbound).
The path follows a power line to Morbié (alt. 1250 m).

4/ From Morbié farm, climb to Col de la Sciaz (20') and then to Mont Pelat (PNR signposting, 1h). Continue north along the ridges to Pré Condut. From here, a path descends on your left towards the Mont de la Vierge chalet.

5/ Once you've reached the chalets, continue down the path through the meadows to "Les Ginets".

6/ Return to the parking lot by the original route.

This itinerary takes you through mountain pastures. Herds may be present. Remember to close the gates behind you to prevent the animals from escaping.
If you have a dog, keep it on a leash to avoid frightening the herd.
