Walking loop : Around Champeillant
IGN cards
Description
Champeillant is a remarkable site, part of the Chablais Geopark, offering 360° views of Lake Geneva, Mont Blanc, the Chablais, the Jura and the Vaud Alps. The loop passes through one of the most rural landscapes on the Gavot plateau.
The hike around Champeillant is a family outing that allows you to discover beautiful panoramas without having to climb the peaks.
Starting from the Chapelle Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs de Champeillant, built in the first half of the 20th century, you'll discover part of the Gavot plateau overlooking Lac Léman.
No physical difficulties on this walk, which takes you across fields, from hamlet to hamlet.
