Discover the hamlets of Grésy-sur-Aix! Paths and small roads will help you discover the rural character of the commune. Undergrowth, grazing meadows, sunny market gardens: the route also offers superb views of the Revard mountains, Lac du Bourget and the Dent du Chat.

This hike is a real link between the communes of Grésy-sur-Aix and Mouxy. This itinerary takes you to the Mouxy station, a moving tribute to the old cogwheel train that, until 1937, took you up to the Revard station. The route offers superb views of the Revard massif, the Dent du Chat and Lac du Bourget.

Designed by the Conseil Municipal Jeunes in 2015/2016, this little loop takes you on a tour of the commune's built heritage. A short 4.5km walk through the lower part of the commune, with several reading tables evoking the local heritage.

Follow the River Deysse on level country roads all the way. Skirting around old dry swamps, this level route is ideal for a family outing. It runs along a poplar grove, passes the Crosagny Mill and crosses the village of Braille.

The comfort walk takes in part of the Albens Marshes loop. "The Marais d'Albens itinerary crosses the Deysse wet forest. Several information panels adorn the route. A discovery pond was created in 2021 in the heart of this wooded area. It also leads to the Crosagny ponds. Some sections of the route are also used by mountain bikers, while others pass through exploited land (meadows, tree-cutting, etc.). Sharing space is essential and allows everyone to enjoy unspoilt nature."

An exceptional natural site steeped in history, with free access for walkers and overhanging footbridges... everything has been designed to allow you to discover these places. The tour begins at the Route des Bauges, where a parking area has been created. A footpath leads along the Sierroz, along the canyon banks and over two cantilevered footbridges clinging halfway up the rocks. A footbridge links the left and right banks of the canyon. The walk continues as far as the Grésy waterfall, where a number of viewpoints have been set up. Here you can rediscover industrial buildings (sawmill, mills, oil mill), admire the waterfall, and stop at a number of remarkable viewpoints overlooking the waterfall, the Dalby mill, the vat-type oil press, the canyon...

A stroll along the Gorges du Sierroz is like stepping back in time, to a place steeped in history and legend, where in the 19th century celebrities from all over Europe flocked to sail in a romantic atmosphere. Following Ondine and Jeannette, come and discover this charming place full of mysteries: isn't it said that at the narrowest passage in the gorge, smugglers used to jump from one bank to the other to escape the forces of law and order? It's on the new footbridge that you'll be able to judge these exploits. Continue along the corbelled passages to the Grésy waterfall, where various viewpoints have been set up to enjoy the tumultuous waters of the Sierroz. A stele was erected here by Queen Hortense in 1813 in memory of her friend Baroness Adèle de Broc, who tragically perished in the riverbed. Imagine a visit from Lamartine, Alexandre Dumas or Queen Victoria, and you'll be transported back to the 19th century, in the midst of the Romantic period, just like some illustrious characters! On the way back, don't forget to take a look at the ingenious mechanism of the old mill.

The footpath linking the ponds and marshes of Crosagny, Beaumont and Braille offers visitors the chance to discover a wide variety of flora and fauna, as well as a rich local history, part of which is brought to life through information boards.

This restless garden, rich in wild, self-seeding plants, is open to everyone. Unlike other gardens in the French style, this garden seeks to minimise human intervention, and places no boundaries on natural processes; the plants that grow here are left to develop as they please. The gardeners are required to use good observational skills and their knowledge of the species and their behaviour in order to enhance the plants' natural capacities; their role includes planting local species, watering and tending (without fertilisers, pesticides or chemical weeding). Partial mowing creates paths through the long grass, which is popular with walkers.

A lookout at the foot of the ruins of Château Neuf. An orientation table shows the countryside around the Lac du Bourget, Chautagne and the surrounding mountains. For safety reasons, entering the ruins is strictly prohibited. A bit of history about Les Tours de César: We do not know much about the Chateaux de Cessans, but there are still significant ruins from the château named 'Château Neuf', as opposed to 'Château-Vieux', of which there is almost nothing remaining. These two châteaux are very close together, and guard the Col de Cessens passage, which you can still access by what is commonly (and mistakenly) known as a Roman road. This perfectly paved road actually dates from after the Roman era. Le Château-Neuf, seemingly built in the 13th century, was still inhabited in 1608, but was severely damaged by the French army in the 17th century. Today, we still call these ruins 'Tours de César'.
