Trails

The Dent du Chat (1,390 m) above the Lac du Bourget: three official routes, 2 to 6 hours, an exposed final section not advised for children. Official sources.

The Rosière lake loop at Courchevel: an easy 1.8 km in 1 h, stroller-accessible, a footbridge over the lake and a botanical trail. The longer, 'difficult' winter version is quoted too.

The Arpelières trail at Crest-Voland: a boardwalk figure-of-eight through the largest acid moss bog in the Alps. Free 1 June to 30 September, mandatory leashes, no straying off the path.

The Chambotte loop at Entrelacs: 4.7 km from one of the finest belvederes over Lac du Bourget, via Mont Corsuet. Dogs accepted, not stroller-suitable — the official sheet contradicts itself on difficulty, so we quote it all.

The Hautecour artistic trail in the Tarentaise: land art renewed each spring, an easy 4.3 km loop or a 700 m comfort version. Official sources only.

The Bruyères pond walk at Les Menuires: a very easy 900 m around a pond of frogs and dragonflies, listed by the Vanoise park among its accessible-to-all sites.

The croix du Nivolet from the Plateau Sud (La Féclaz): a 9.2 km loop, 360° panorama over Chambéry, winter snowshoe version. Official sources only.

The Lac d'Aiguebelette circuit on foot: 3 days, 60.4 km, +2,467 m, rated difficult — not to be confused with the 17 km cycling loop. Official sources.

The chemin du Petit Bonheur in Haute Maurienne Vanoise: an ancestral village-to-village path, 40 to 50 km per the tourist office, family-friendly. Official sources.

The lac des Vaches at Pralognan-la-Vanoise: 8 km round trip from Les Fontanettes, +680 m, on the old salt road towards the col de la Vanoise. Official sources.

Via ferrata de la Roche Veyrand, Saint-Pierre-d'Entremont (Savoie): first section AD, second TD, 800 m of cable. Equipment compulsory by municipal decree, forbidden to unaccompanied minors and in bad weather.

The Lac du Bourget's lakeside path: 4 km at water level between Aix-les-Bains, Tresserve and Viviers-du-Lac, wheelchair accessible without assistance.

The Sardières monolith: a 93 m cargneule spire in the pine forest, a family loop via the Biches trail, the waymarked snowshoe version — and the national park's dog ban.
