Description

In addition to its beautiful views of Lake Geneva, the Valais Alps and the French Pre-Alps, the trail will take you through the village of Larringes, which has preserved all its authenticity and will immerse you in the history of Savoy (castle).
This easy hike starts in front of Mont Blanc. An orientation table is located a few metres from the start. The soul of Larringes is located on the village square with the church, the town hall and the basin of pure and fresh water which waters the herds evening and morning for 6 months. The path then plunges you into the history of Savoie, at the foot of the castle from where you can dominate the plain, the mountains and the banks of the lake. The undergrowth of fayards leads to a health trail, which can be followed by a visit to a local producer (sausage and cheese).
