La Tour de l'Angle Est, Summit in Savoy Pre-Alps, France
La Tour de l'Angle Est is a summit in the Savoy Pre-Alps that rises to about 1200 meters and offers views across the Alpine landscape and Lake Bourget. The area is shaped by forests and mountain meadows that give the hike a natural character.
Shepherds have moved through this region for centuries, creating and maintaining pathways as they moved herds seasonally between lower and higher elevations. These traditional routes became embedded in the landscape and remain in use today.
The walking routes here trace paths that shepherds have used for generations to move their flocks across forests and high meadows throughout the seasons.
The hike begins near Route du Revard where parking is available, and takes about three and a half hours with elevation gain of around 450 meters. Bring sturdy footwear and plenty of water, as the path crosses different terrain and changes in surface conditions.
At the base of this summit lies the source of the Sierroz River, fed by small springs that flow downward into the lake below. Many walkers find this hidden spring source an unexpected discovery during their climb.
