Guidebook describing 30 walking routes in the area between Chamonix and Annecy, one of a 2-volume guide to walking in the Haute Savoie in the French Alps. The half- to full-day alpine routes and ascents are in the Faucigny/Haut Giffre region (overlooking Chamonix), Cluses, the Samöens/Sixt areas, and the Aravais/Bourne region around Annecy.
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 second of a series of two volumes covering the walking possibilities in the Haute Savoie. Book 1 covers 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, and describes 30 walks in the area. Both volumes 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 a base. There are chapters concerning how to get there, equipment, walk explanations, flora and fauna.

Janette Norton has lived near Geneva for over 30 years with her family, working in the marketing field. Her love of mountains dates from when she was a guide in her twenties, and the proximity of the Alps and Jura to her home inspired her to continue her passion. This is her fourth guide for Cicerone.
