One of the titles in an extensive series of light, A5-size, high quality paperback guides with colour extracts from the French topographic survey at 1:25,000 or 1:50,000, overprinted with local hiking routes. Each guide offers a selection of day walks of different length and difficulty of terrain, all clearly graded. The descriptions provide information on various places of interest along the routes and directions for special points marked on the accompanying maps.

The guides with day walks are indicated on the accompanying series grid by yellow or blue boxes.

In this guide: 41 walks from one to eight hours long, which cover the Tour des Ports du Soleil, its variants and many more routes in the vicinity of the France /Switzerland border immediately south of Lake Geneva. 128 pages.
