Sentier pédestre des Espagnols

Hiking between the Glières plateau and the Champlaitier mountain pasture. Following in the footsteps of the Spanish Resistance Maquis, cross the Montagne de Frête to reach the superb Belvédère du Pas du Roc on this route steeped in history. This loop, starting from the Col des Glières, takes you on either side of the Montagne des Frêtes. After an initial section in the Frêtes forest, you'll reach the Champlaitier mountain pasture, with views of the Chalet du Plan and Maison Neuve. This vast area is in bloom according to the season (daffodils, etc.), with a meandering stream. An ideal spot for picnics. Along the Nant des Brassets, you'll make your way to the Belvédère du Pas du Roc, where the stream continues its descent to La Filière, tumbling over the cliffs. The waterfall is reached by a steep, winding descent reserved for experienced hikers. Straddling the Plateau de Champlaitier and the Plateau des Glières, the route takes you into the heart of an area with a rich historical heritage. The trail's name pays tribute to the feats of arms of the Spanish maquisards. These Republicans were deported to Annecy in 1940 for their opposition to Franco's dictatorial regime. During the Occupation in 1942, they joined the French Resistance, refusing to join Germany as forced by the Vichy regime. The Spanish Maquis played a key role in the February 1944 call to receive weapons parachuted onto the Plateau des Glières by the Allies. Under the command of Tom Morel, their mission was to protect the Petit Bornand access road, the most difficult to defend.

Tom Morel historical walking trail

Hike through landscapes of limestone rock, spruce forest and alpine pastures, in a place where history has left its mark. Walk in the footsteps of Officer Morel, whose charisma and determination instilled the spirit of Les Glières. Departing from Le Petit Bornand, this long hike takes you to the Plateau des Glières, passing between the foothills of Montagne des Auges and Montagne des Frêtes. Following a forest path, you first climb up to Fréchet. From here, you'll have a fine view over the Val de Borne, and you're at the gateway to the Plateau des Glières. Take the opportunity to contemplate the beautiful pasture landscapes stretching out before you: the Pâquis mountain pasture, the Chez Constance mountain pasture, the La Perrière mountain pasture... The area is steeped in pastoral tradition, which you'll be able to immerse yourself in as you stroll along. You'll also have the chance to sample local specialities at the famous Chez Constance Refuge-Restaurant. Walk in the footsteps of Théodose "Tom" Morel. The trail pays tribute to the lieutenant, leader of the Haute-Savoie Maquis during the German occupation between 1942 and 1944, whose feats of arms resonate in the memories of the Resistance. The round-trip route takes you as far as the Col de Glières. However, don't hesitate to extend your journey to the Monument National à la Résistance, inaugurated in 1972 with a speech by André Malraux and now classified as a Historic Monument.

Espace d'accueil et d'information Mémoire du Maquis - Plateau des Glières

The Plateau des Glières is a place of remembrance of the Resistance, with the National Monument for the Resistance, the Mémoire du Maquis visitor's centre and the historic discovery trail. Situated at an altitude of 1,435 metres, the Plateau des Glières was chosen by the Allies as a parachuting site during the Second World War. From January to March 1944, 465 maquisards gathered there under the successive command of Lieutenant Tom Morel, then Captain Maurice Anjot, to receive weapons destined for the maquis in Haute-Savoie. On 26 March 1944, they faced a massive joint attack by Vichy and Wehrmacht forces. 129 maquisards and 20 local residents lost their lives, either killed in action, shot or deported. Most of them are buried at the Glières National Necropolis. Historical trail Le maquis des Glières In the centre of the Glières plateau, a new historical trail tells the story of the organisation of the Glières maquis during the winter of 1944. A one-hour loop between the Mémoire du maquis building and the Monument national à la Résistance. 12 reading tables, 2 large orientation tables. Free adult and children's booklets available from the Mémoire du maquis building. Free access. Exhibition - Esplanade du Monument Celebrating the spirit of Les Glières. The National Monument to the Resistance Built in 1973 on the initiative of the survivors of Les Glières and designed by the artist Emile Gilioli, the monument pays tribute to the 465 maquisards on the plateau and to the events of the winter of 1944. In his search for simple, uncluttered forms, the artist was able to capture the spirit of Les Glières while at the same time creating a work of art that speaks to the viewer. This exhibition traces the history of the work, from its conception through to its completion. Accompanying booklet available free of charge from the Mémoire du maquis reception building. Free access Visits and events for all ages are offered by the Department's team of cultural mediators.

Monument national à la Résistance de Gilioli

National Monument to the Resistance. At the end of the 1960s, as plans for the commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the Maquis des Glières were being put forward, the idea developed amongst the survivors that it was becoming important "to do something appropriate to mark the event". Selected following a national competition judged by a jury made up of 5 survivors from Glières and 4 personalities chosen because of their knowledge of the art world (such as the chief conservator of Paris' Modern Art Musuem, Bernard Dorival, and the painter Hans Hartung), the National Monument to the Resistance was inaugurated on 2nd September 1973 by André Malraux. The dimensions of the monument are impressive,measuring 15.20 meters high, 4 meters wide and 21 meters long and weighing 65 tonnes. It is not a monument to the dead, but rather a symbol of hope. Its creator, Emile Gilioli (1911-1977), wanted to create a architectural sculpture that expresses the commitment of Glières' fighters and remains in harmony with the surrounding mountains which lengthen it further by their ridge lines. The monument soars like a V of the victory. One of the two arrows shoots up towards the sky as a sign of hope. From the monument comes a solar disc symbolising rebirth and liberty. Its surprising balance reminds us that liberty, always under threat, constantly needs to be secured. The other arrow looks as if it has been snapped off, representing the fact that all victories bring struggles, suffering and death. The monument was conceived as a whole, with the mast and the Pleureuses (mourners) marking the entrance to this site. The interior of the monument was planned as a sacred space; it displays various works that invite viewers to contemplate and reflect. Here you will find the Bataillon's slogan together with a text engraved in the concrete, recalling the fighting at Glières and a drawing showing a tracery of lines representing war. In the back there is a shining statue in the shape of a flame; it also points an arm towards the sky, whilst the other, like the statue, is truncated. The head of the statue is marked by the cross of Christ. It represents Joan of Arc and was offered by Gilioli who had originally made it for the city of Florence. It was the sculptor's aim to bring the concepts of Joan of Arc and the fighters of Glières together to evoke the idea of a resilient France.

Plateau des Glières

This site is a haven of peace with nature that is still pristine. What a surprise for the visitor who, having climbed the limestone escarpments, discovers this plateau, where grassy valleys alternate with rocky crests and conifer forests. At the heart of the Haute-Savoie region, this superb valley is made of limestone rock. It is situated in the Bornes Massif, between the mountains of Auges (1,800 m) and Frêtes, 29 km and 15 km away from La Roche-sur-Foron and Thorens-Glières respectively, and located in the communes of Petit-Bornand-les-Glières and Thorens-Glières. The pass is situated at an altitude of 1,440 m, the Plateau des Glières offers a number of activities. In fact, it is the key meeting place for passionate Nordic skiers in winter, and hikers in summer. In winter, snowshoeing is common, and a toboggan slope is set up each year children. Caving activity is also popular, with some fifteen cavities of over 150 metres deep identified on Les Frêtes. The deepest cavity of which we are currently aware on the Plateau des Glières is the Tanne à Paccot, also known as the "hole of the A2". Its estimated depth is around 400 metres. History lovers will be able to devote themselves to guided tours to discover - or supplement their knowledge of - the events that took place on the plateau during the Second World War that made it a centre of resistance. There is also a discovery trail, to learn while enjoying nature.
