Guidebook with maps/step-by-step

Starting from the Taninges town hall, follow the Foron River and take the trail along the river’s right bank toward Flérier. 1/ The route joins the “Au Fil du Giffre” Greenway as it approaches Lake Flérier. In the area around the Faucigny fish farm, you can observe beavers at work (draft dams, felled trees). 2/ The route passes through Flérier, then the hamlet of “Les Crottuts,” before crossing the D907 at “Chez les Montant” / “Les Verchères.” 3/ Follow a path climbing between meadows and forest, then turn right onto the path that passes through the pretty, terraced villages of “Sur Marcelly,” “Marcelly,” and “Sous Marcelly.” 4/ You’ll return to Taninges via Hauteville and the Montée du Sapeur, enjoying impressive views overlooking the village.
