    This easy hike starts in front of Mont Blanc. An orientation table is located a few metres from the start. The soul of Larringes is located on the village square with the church, the town hall and the basin of pure and fresh water which waters the herds evening and morning for 6 months.
    The path then plunges you into the history of Savoie, at the foot of the castle from where you can dominate the plain, the mountains and the banks of the lake. The undergrowth of fayards leads to a health trail, which can be followed by a visit to a local producer (sausage and cheese).

    Roadbook

    0/ Departure point: Larringes cemetery parking lot. 1/ Take the D32 towards "Vinzier". At the traffic circle, turn left into "Chemin de Pugny". At the Château, turn right into "Chemin de Chery". After a few metres, turn right. The narrow road becomes a path between meadows. This leads to a small road on the left. 2/ Follow "Chez Crosson" past a chapel, turn right. Stay on the main road. At a fork in the road, near a hunters' hut, take the left-hand lane; at the next fork in the road, take the right-hand lane; at a 3rd fork in the road (sports course espalier), take the left-hand lane and follow the sports course itinerary. Cross a meadow. Then turn right, back into the woods, towards "Saint-Paul-en-Chablais". 3/ At the next intersection, leave the signposted path and continue straight ahead. Cross the D52 at an angle to the right, towards the "Sentier du Maravant". Follow the path beneath the spruce trees. At a crossroads, two signs indicate, respectively, the direction from which you are coming and a right turn towards "La Pastourelle". Ignore these signs and turn left along a faint path. This leads to a small road. 4/ Follow the road to the right and cross "Le Maravant" on a small bridge. Then take the left-hand lane and continue along a small road. Turn left into "Cré Bouché". Cross the hamlet. At the last houses, follow the yellow signs and turn right. 5/ At the next intersection, leave the yellow signs, go straight ahead and enter the D352 road. Follow this road for about 250 m. Then turn left onto a track between meadows. When you reach the Oratoire du Perron, to the left of a clearly visible pylon, turn right around the mound, as the path becomes less clear (do not climb the full slope towards the oratory, respect the meadows). At the crossroads at the pylon, turn left. Continue slightly uphill to reach the oratory. Retrace your steps. 6/ Follow the D352 road to the right, then turn left at "Bois du Ban" to the intersection with the signposted path. Take the track on the left. Stay on this main path. At the crossroads with a small road, take this to the left. At the next crossroads, take the small road to the right. Pass an oratory on the left and descend to enter "Larringes". At the fork, turn right and cross a stream. Climb back up to the church.
