The Haute Savoie

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.
