Home of the Plateau of Glières, Mountain plateau in Fillière, France

The Plateau des Glières rises to 2000 meters elevation, featuring limestone cliffs, alpine meadows, and dense forests across its expansive terrain.

In March 1944, the plateau became a battlefield where 149 French Resistance fighters lost their lives defending against German military forces.

The National Monument of Resistance stands at the center of the plateau, commemorating the French Resistance members who fought during World War II.

Five marked cycling routes of varying difficulties traverse the plateau, with the western ascent extending seven kilometers at a nine percent grade.

The plateau transforms into a cross-country skiing destination during winter months, with maintained trails covering the entire natural reserve.

Annecy and its lake: the most beautiful places to see between town and mountains

Annecy attracts equally with its lake and its preserved Alpine village ambiance. Between nature, gastronomy, and heritage, the town stretches between the mountains and the clear water of the lake, lined with canals and colorful facades. Strolling along the Thiou, climbing up to the castle, or taking boat trips to Talloires and Veyrier are popular activities. The surroundings are filled with easily accessible peaks, scenic trails, and starred restaurants. Each season offers a reason to return, whether for markets, beaches, or the first snow on the Aravis.
