Easy family walk, the hike of the Balcon des Crêts will allow you to walk on the mountain of Salève in a remarkable faunistic and floristic area.
From the parking lot known as «Du Crêts» you will leave for a loop of a little longer than 5km to discover the alpages and the panoramic viewpoints of Lake Geneva and Annecy, but also on the high snowy peaks of the Alps.
Close to the paragliding take-off, take the opportunity to admire the show of the pilots during the take-off.
When you return from your loop, you can quench your thirst with a cold drink offered by the Café des Crêts, near the starting car park.
