Description

Stroller-accessible, this family outing will delight young and old alike for a moment of relaxation in the fresh air in the heart of the Thônes Valley, close to Annecy.

This itinerary takes you along the banks of the River Fier. On these shady paths in the heart of an alluvial forest, immerse yourself in the beautiful, unspoilt natural setting of this site.

Classified as a Sensitive Natural Area, the Fier plain is a typical Alpine valley floor site. Several educational panels will help you learn more about this ecosystem.

On warm days, don't hesitate to take advantage of the natural beaches along the route, for a moment of relaxation by the water.
