Because of its singularity and its ecological and geological interest, this 68-hectare protected site belonging to the Bornes massif was classified a nature reserve in 1977. Would you like to discover it during your stay in Haute Savoie? Head for the Ch\u00e8re rock reserve, a 20-minute drive from the <a href=\"https:\/\/annecy.geek-tonic.dev\/en\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"7\">Annecy La Ravoire and Les Fontaines campsites<\/a>.   <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-0884d4d2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Access to Ch\u00e8re rock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From the La Ravoire or Les Fontaines campsite, take the D1508 (south) to Doussard. Turn left through the village to reach the eastern shore of Lake Annecy (D909A) as far as Talloires. Continue towards Menthon-Saint-Bernard. After about 2 km, you&#8217;ll see a sign for \u201cGolf du lac d&#8217;Annecy\u201d on your left. Take this road (chemin d&#8217;Echarvines \u00e0 Ch\u00e8re) and park in the parking lot on your right. Are you there yet? Strap on your hiking boots and start this short, child-friendly climb. Allow around 50 minutes for the outward journey and 40 minutes for the descent. The view of the mountain lake and the Alps is well worth the detour!        <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/A-5sD9PSwlE?si=ilccdb0So-wFVBVT\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-0884d4d2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DfR0YhPOvvI?si=By7ZZYNdKbreKrV1\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recommended hiking route to Roc de Ch\u00e8re<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the parking lot, you&#8217;ll see a large information panel about the reserve and its ecosystems.
