A loop around Mont Morbié via the ridges

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.

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.
