Roc de Chère

The Roc de Chère features a 6.33-kilometer hiking trail with 229 meters of elevation gain, winding through marked forest paths that lead to multiple panoramic viewpoints overlooking Lake Annecy.

This rocky promontory reaching 660 meters in height was formed by ancient tectonic processes and houses a 69-hectare national nature reserve protecting local biodiversity since the 19th century.

The Roc de Chère region reflects local Alpine traditions with its family-friendly hiking trails, artisanal markets in Talloires, and proximity to the 10th-century Château de Menthon-Saint-Bernard.

The trailhead is located near the Talloires golf course parking lot, the path is accessible year-round free of charge and suitable for families with approximately two and a half hours of walking time.

The dry meadows of Roc de Chère shelter rare orchids and fossilized shells dating back millions of years, evidence of the region's ancient marine environment.
