Between lake Bourget and lake Annecy and close to the Aravis massif, the forested flanks of the Bauges range look intimidating, although plucky vineyards cling to the southern slopes. Explore the old craft villages, the cheese cooperatives where the delicious Tome des Bauges is produced. Do not miss a visit to the Maison de la Faune et de la Flore to learn everything about the Natural Park. After a long walk in the alpine pasture let's have a swim in the little lakes of the massif.
