Tour of Lac d’Annecy. (Variante A/R) Refuge de Pré vérel - La Tournette (2351m) –. Stage 4

This route is only suitable for experienced hikers as the rock is often wet and slippery in places and the peak is equipped with chains and a ladder. Only to be attempted in good weather.

The path starts to the right of the Chalet de l'Aulp and climbs steeply up to the Refuge de la Tournette (1774m), then rises under the Tournette foothills in a huge S-shape. Leave the lake-side slope for a moment before reaching a fixed ladder, equipped with a chain, which takes you to the summit, also known as the "fauteuil". A 360° panorama gives you a view not only of the lake, but of all the surrounding mountains. You can also have fun finding your itinerary from previous days! The return journey to the Pré Vérel refuge takes the same route, so be careful.
