Hiking: Top 5 hikes to do in Savoie this summer

It's summer and the mountain trails are just waiting for you! Savoie is a must-see destination for mountain lovers, whether you're looking for an easy family hike or a more challenging outing with a panoramic view of Mont Blanc.

1. Le Lac de la Sassière

Start: Car park at the Saut dam, Val d'Isère


  • Distance: 6.5 km return
  • Difference in altitude: +200 m
  • Duration: 2h30
  • Difficulty: Easy

Why we love it: it's a hike accessible to all, in the heart of high mountain landscapes. The turquoise lake, marmots and surrounding peaks make this a magical place. Ideal for a family hike in Savoie, with all-terrain pushchairs available all the way to the lake.


2. La Dent du Chat

Start: Col du Chat, Bourdeau commune


  • Distance: 6 km return
  • Difference in altitude: +700 m
  • Duration: 3h
  • Difficulty: Moderate

This emblematic summit dominates Lac du Bourget with spectacular views. A short but steep climb, rewarded by an unforgettable viewpoint. Don't forget hiking boots with a good grip, especially for the last rocky section.


3. Le Lac des Vaches

Departure : Les Fontanettes car park, Pralognan-la-Vanoise


  • Distance: 10 km return
  • Difference in altitude: +550 m
  • Duration: 4h
  • Difficulty: Easy to moderate

One of the most photogenic spots in Savoie: a paved path crosses the shallow waters of the lake, surrounded by the Vanoise glaciers. You can extend the hike to the Col de la Vanoise refuge.


4. Le Mont Jovet

Départ : Hamlet of La Cour, Notre-Dame-du-Pré


  • Distance: 13 km return
  • Difference in altitude: +900 m
  • Duration: 5h
  • Difficulty: Moderate

A 360° view of the Alps: Mont-Blanc, Vanoise, Beaufortain... It's a veritable natural belvedere above the Tarentaise. Mont Jovet refuge at the halfway point for a well-deserved break. Perfect for regular hikers.


5. Le Cheval Noir

Départ : Col de La Madeleine


  • Distance: 14 km return
  • Difference in altitude: +1,100 m
  • Duration: 6h
  • Difficulty: Advanced

A wild, alpine hike to a mineral summit offering a unique panorama of the Vanoise, Belledonne and Écrins ranges. Less frequented, it's a real favorite with lovers of wide open spaces. The final section is a little airy, but technically safe.
