Perched at an altitude of 1,435 metres in the Bornes massif, to the northeast of Annecy, the Glières plateau is a natural and cultural space renowned for its mountain pastures and remarkable flora and fauna. It was chosen by the Allies as a parachuting ground for the Maquis of Haute-Savoie during World War II and became an essential site for the French Resistance. Owned by the Haute-Savoie Departmental Council, the Syndicat Mixte des Glières manages the site. A remarkable natural space, an alpine dairy pasture, the plateau offers a multitude of walks and cultural discoveries, such as Emile Gilioli's National Monument to the Resistance, the historical discovery trail and the Mémoire du Maquis visitor centre. Cross-country skiing offers enthusiasts a remarkable experience in winter, combining nature and nostalgia. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the 1944 Maquis winter campaign.
