The Haute Savoie is a beautiful and mountainous area for walking. The walks described are all circular and can be done in a day.
In the files for download, the tracks follow the routes as described in the Cicerone walking guides to Haute Savoie:North and South. I have also included waypoints for the start of many of the walks in these books.
A well-signposted switchback walk that goes around a lake.
A walk to a spectacular waterfall that gives great views of lake Annecy.

A beautiful walk that takes you from France into Switzerland.

A dramatic and airy ridge walk that involves some scrambling up using cables (but this can be avoided).
