Walking itinerary - Circuit du Sappey

Accessible hike overlooking the village of Serraval and the hamlet of La Sauffaz. The Sappey trail takes you through pastoral landscapes, with beautiful views of the Sulens and Charvin rivers.

This easy itinerary begins in the heart of the gateway to the Thônes valley. The name of the village of Serraval literally means "keyhole of the valley", due to its position at the crossroads of Annecy, Thônes and Faverges. The area retains a pastoral tradition, deeply rooted in local history and heritage. Here, you'll have the opportunity to observe the typical goat-herding pastures of the Tournette foothills. This loop will take you up to the Sappey area, offering magnificent panoramic views of Mont Charvin and Mont du Sulens. In the village of Serraval, don't hesitate to visit the Maison de la Pomme et du Biscantin (Apple and Biscantin House) to learn more about the orchards of the Thônes valley. You can also leave with Biscantin, the local cider produced on site.
