Located between Mont Charvin and Tournette, Montagne de Sulens offers a magnificent panorama on the Aravis Range, as well as the Bauges, Bornes, and Tarentaise Massif. The hike to Col Sulens doesn’t have any technical difficulties except the path that is sometimes hard to follow in its upper part just before the Col de Sulens.
This long hike without any major difficulties offers a magnificent panorama over both massifs. Start : Les Clefs/ Plan Bois, from Annecy drive past Thônes and then to the top of Les Clefs Village (park next to the Snack bar).

Do not miss a stop in Thônes, a veritable base camp between Lake Annecy and the Aravis mountains. Its 8 villages, typical or otherwise, attract visitors throughout the year to this choice geographical location where the most beautiful summits beckon you… The majestic Tournette, the enlightening Mont Charvin and the bucolic Beauregard Plateau are but a few of the gems of this outstanding region that invites you on a journey, invites you to take time out and enjoy life’s pleasures… It is also the capitale of the famous Reblochon Cheese!
