Blacé walks

Randonnez sur ce sentier de 25 km et partez à la découverte du patrimoine blacéen, sa viticulture, ses panoramas, ses vieilles demeures. Ce circuit est une synthèse des trois autres circuits de la commune de Blacé et reprend en partie ces derniers (la Madone 5 km, les Béragnons 10 km et les Têtières 16 km).

Overlooking the Saône valley, the trail crosses the Beaujolais vineyards and climbs the Col du Failly through a forest of deciduous and coniferous trees. A break at the Chapelle de Saint-Bonnet chapel will reveal the beauty of the panorama over the Saône Valley and the Beaujolais region.

Walk among the vineyards of the lower Beaujolais, the forests and the ridges above. Paths and trails marked in yellow with signs.

This day hike is intended for experienced walkers. Its appeal lies in the long kilometres of solitude, where hikers can find themselves while awakening their senses by listening to the various sounds of nature and enjoying the magnificent landscapes where the ridge line oscillates from "very high" to "walker's height". This hike is difficult due to its length and elevation gain. In total, slopes greater than 7% stretch over 11 kilometres. In addition, orientation is complicated fromthe 11th tothe 13th kilometre as there are many crossroads. The psychological impact should not be overlooked, as you will almost always take the uphill paths at the crossroads. For this very difficult hike, be sure to take all the necessary precautions.
