A small corner of paradise, a stone's throw away from Geneva, the Genevois Haut-Savoyard lays out its paths and landscape beneath the sun. The marked walkways allow you to combine leisure with the discovery of nature, and even to cross from Switzerland into France, on foot, in complete relaxation*. A range of tours and walks leading from Salève to the Vallée Verte, from Vuache to Taninges, from the Voirons to Annemasse.

With landscapes, architecture and arts & crafts, your journey will be full of attractions and reasons to pause. There are «discovery» stops, which allow you to visit a farm or a goat fold or, for those who appreciate good food, to taste red fruits, honey, apples, wines and even snails... Try the theme hikes to ferret out marmots or fawn or to meet the donkeys Philou or Nougatine who will take you to Vallée Verte or Salève.

And if you are in the mood for sports, you can practise rock-climbing on the slopes of Salève or for the more daring there is a paragliding; take-off from the Pertuiset site. Also, do not forget the Habère-Pocket platform glider, which allows you to take off for an uninterrupted view of the Léman and Mont-Blanc.

For activities that whet your appetite: village inns and restaurants offering regional dishes, such as the traditional fondue, line your route. To guide you an fill you with ideas for discovering this beautiful countryside, the Genevois Haut-Savoyard free guide book «Tour d'horizons» suggests original routes and a range of useful addresses.
