Traversée des Dents de Lanfon: An aerial adventure.

Push your limits and discover new sensations!

The crossing of the Dents de Lanfon, above Lake Annecy, is a sporting challenge within the reach of experienced hikers wishing to add a touch of climbing to their outings. This ridge, emblematic of the Bornes massif, offers an exceptional playground for lovers of thrills and magnificent panoramas of Lake Annecy.

A demanding and rewarding itinerary

The crossing of the Dents de Lanfon requires good physical condition since it represents almost 1000m of elevation gain. It therefore takes no less than 2 hours to reach the start of the technical part. Roped, we follow a few cables to reach the edge of the ridge. This is the beginning of a magnificent journey on fun and sometimes dizzying terrain. A few level III climbing passages spice up the crossing. Ridges, rocks and passages between trees clinging to the limestone wall, climbing and descent… no time to get bored. But the effort is largely rewarded by breathtaking views of Lake Annecy and the surrounding mountains. Check out a day outing on the blog here.

Strong sensations: Progression on ridges, crossing aerial passages, climbing…
