First volume of a 2-part guide to walking the northern part of France's Haute Savoie to the south of Lake Geneva to the Swiss border including pré-Alp areas Saleve, Chablais, the Valle Verte, with Evian and Morzine amongst places to stay. 30 walks including local summits and ridges, but generally straightforward terrain.
The Haute Savoie region of France lies in the southeast of the country below Lake Geneva. While the region is probably best known for its famous Mont Blanc range, this guide opens up to walkers the dozens of other, less frequented mountains in the Haute Savoie, which are just as delightful.
This guide is the first of a series of two volumes covering the walking possibilities in the Haute Savoie. This book describes 30 walks in the northern part of the region, which includes the gentle pre-alps south of Lake Geneva (Chablais, Salve and Valle Verte) across to the Swiss border. Book 2 covers the higher peaks to the south, between Annecy and Chamonix. Both volulmes of the guide also give historical background, descriptions of the different areas the walks start from, plus additional information regarding the towns and villages which can be used as centres. There are chapters concerning how to get there, equipment, walk explanations, flora and fauna.

Janette Norton has lived near Geneva for over 30 years working in marketing. Her love of mountains dates from being a guide in her twenties, and the proximity of the Alps and Jura to her home continued her passion. Now her family has grown up, she has branched out to explore other areas of France.
