Walking tour : Around the castle

Discover the surroundings of the Château de Faverges, a 13th-century landmark that bears witness to past conflicts between the House of Savoy and the House of Geneva for control of Faucigny, and to the strategic position occupied by the seigneury of Faverges in this feudal opposition.

The route initially skirts the foothills of the Crêt de Chambellon. After a short, easy climb, you'll be able to admire a beautiful panorama, nestled on this island overlooking the plain of the Sources du Lac d'Annecy.

Take time to contemplate the long ridges of the Massif des Bauges on one side, descending from Arcalod and Trélod towards Doussard; on the other, the southern part of the Aravis with Mont Charvin. The whole of the Faverges plain stretches out before your eyes, and the view of the Château and its distinctive keep is breathtaking.
