The watchword of these day hikes from Toulouse is wonder. Sensual pleasure of contact with nature, pleasure of the eyes with various mountain landscapes but also security and serenity with a personalized organization. Each hike, like a small cantata, has its own tone which will vary depending on the season and the mood of the weather.

Ascent to the bivouac - Ariège
10 km
500m / -300m

A grand tour of the surroundings of the Grand Chartreuse Monastery, which promises beautiful panoramas through the gaps in a magnificent mountain forest. This beautiful hike starting from the Grande Chartreuse is designed to give us a choice.

It's always possible to extend the pleasure to the Grand Som or the Petit Som.
The Grande Sure - Isère

880m / -880m
Next departure
Starting from the Col de la Charmette, we'll take a steep track that will lead us to the Col de la Petite Vache through coniferous forest. From there, we'll see the Grande Sure, which we'll reach after crossing a few fairly steep slabs. We'll return to our starting point via the Hurtières gully. Forest, pastoral meadows, and limestone peaks are on the agenda, as is often the case in Chartreuse.
Le Pinet par la Plagne - Savoie

905m / -905m
Next departure
Starting from the charming hamlet of La Plagne (Entremont-le-vieux), we'll begin our climb with a steep climb to the Col de l'Alpette. From there, the climb will become more gentle until we reach the summit. We'll pass through the Alpette summer pastures under the impressive gaze of the Lion's Head. The path to the summit of Le Pinet will pass through sinkholes and chasms typical of this limestone plateau.
Mont Joigny - Savoie
8 km
440m / -440m
Next departure
On paper, this hike seems easy, but be warned: the climb is steep. However, you're rewarded by the magnificent panorama that unfolds before you. Everything is there, from Mont Granier to La Grande Sure. And if you turn your gaze a little to the north, you can see Chambéry and Lake Bourget.

We will first begin our climb in the heart of a beautiful forest of large beech trees. On either side of a pebble path, the green moss of the wetlands covers the granite rocks. Suddenly, the landscape opens onto a vast cirque (1400m) which turns out to be the setting of a peat bog crossed by a beautiful stream ideal for a picnic. With a little courage, we push the effort towards the Garbet pond (1680) which offers itself to us as the final gift of this beautiful hike.
