Walking itinerary: Vuache summit from Chaumont
ChaumontA propos
Discover the Vuache mountain and its summit on this accessible hike between Geneva and Annecy. Smaller than its neighbor the Salève, this mountain offers equally magnificent panoramas!
This hike, which is not technically difficult but has a good gradient, takes you to the summit of the Vuache mountain at an altitude of 1110 meters, from the authentic village of Chaumont.
The 11-kilometer-long Vuache mountain is located in a natural area protected for its flora and fauna. Here you'll find rare flower species such as Erythrone Dent de Chien, which is also the symbol of the Syndicat Intercommunal.
From the summit, you can contemplate the Jura massif, the Alps and the Geneva basin. While you're in Chaumont, take the opportunity to visit the ruins of the 12th-century castle, once the châtellenie of the Counts of Geneva.
