The Parmelan is a classic hike, much appreciated by Annecy's residents, and offers numerous views of the Annecy conurbation and surrounding peaks.
The ascent via the Grand Montoir can be vertiginous, but the summit is well worth the effort. The Parmelan limestone plateau and its seemingly endless lapiaz form a magnificent landscape.
The Tête du Parmelan, the highest point of the walk, offers a breathtaking panorama of Lake Annecy, Les Bornes, Les Bauges, Le Vuache and Lake Geneva.
A gourmet break is available at the Refuge Camille Dunant, before starting the descent via the Petit Montoir, a longer but less rugged trail that allows you to enjoy the scenery to the full.
