La Tournette, Mountain summit at Les Clefs and viewpoint at Talloires-Montmin, France

The limestone mountain rises to an elevation of 2,350 meters, offering views of Lake Annecy, the Aravis Range, and Mont Blanc Massif.

Local mountain guides established multiple climbing routes to reach La Tournette's peak during the expansion of Alpine tourism in the 19th century.

The Col de l'Aulp alpine chalet near La Tournette maintains traditional dairy production methods, demonstrating regional cheese-making techniques to visitors.

The ascent from Pré Ronds car park involves a 7.8-kilometer round trip with metal cables and ladders, requiring approximately 6 hours to complete.

The final section features two metal ladders fixed directly into the rock face, leading climbers to the summit through a technical vertical passage.

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.
