Les Tours Saint-Jacques

Savoie Mont Blanc's choice

It is a nice bucolic walk that will make you discover a unique geological formation in the region, the monoliths or St. James Towers. These limestone rocks stand in the middle of a forest, like defensive towers.

The hike of the St-Jacques towers can be done by different paths, we chose the shortest and the easiest. The version via la Figlia is also proposed on ViAnnecy, it is longer and the difference in altitude is quite significant.

If you have young children it is better to do this version that we propose.

Bring a picnic, walking sticks (with rubber tips), especially for the access to the towers.

For the practical side there are public toilets behind the town hall. Enjoy your walk and take your time to appreciate this generous and grandiose nature.
