A very lovely, fairly short walk suitable for everyone, on the hills above the small village of Thise, east of Besançon. Minimal elevation gain, stony path.
In Thise, head towards the “Centre Équestre”; the starting point of the walk is 50 metres before the Centre Équestre, on the left.
From the car park, go through the two barriers (don’t forget to put the chains back in place!).
Walk straight up for 100 metres then turn left. Continue straight on until you reach the stairs that wind downwards. 30 metres further on, you have arrived.
Follow the path in the opposite direction to return.
Car park with information boards (and another suggested route nearby).
3 benches along the route and a bin at the end of the route.
Suitable for children but not for pushchairs.
Along the way: goats, sheep, horses, panoramic views with an orientation table and unobstructed views of the airfield, statue of Our Lady of Liberation.
100 metres further on: a walk through the forest (arboretum).
A few kilometres away: Chailluz Forest (small wildlife park, fitness trail), the city of Besançon.

Hello everyone
A lovely little walk in the hills above Thise – short, quick and easy.
It also offers a beautiful view of the town and the floodplain, the Eiffel-style hangars at the aerodrome (restored in 2019 and 2020) and the bell tower of St Hilaire’s Church (which is also open to visitors).
There are also some lovely opportunities for trail walks in the town’s communal forest (see the Visorando/Thise website).
