Access: in Saint-Sulpice-des-Rivoires, take the Route de la Valdaine towards Saint-Geoire-en-Aldaine. Park in the small car park at the pumping station in the hamlet of Les Fayeux.
(S/E) Set off towards Saint-Geoire. Follow the yellow markings and take the first tarmac road on your left. You will already enjoy a beautiful view of the Sure and the Grand Som.
Pass a house on your left, then arrive at a path. Shortly afterwards, turn onto the grassy path that climbs to the left. Walk along the chestnut forest, then climb to the right (yellow markings). After this first hill, you will leave the forest. Follow the path downhill to a crossroads.
(1) Turn left, walk past a house, and you will find yourself back on a tarmac road. Enjoy the new view of Mont du Chat and Les Bauges. Continue to follow the markings. Just after a crossroads, take a path on the right that leads you to the Route de l'Ourcière. Turn right. At a large right-hand bend, leave the markings and go down the road to another left-hand bend.
(2) There, take the path on the right that enters the woods and follow it. Leave a path on the right, then at the fork just after, keep to the right and walk a few hundred metres. A well-marked path descends on your left. Take it and go down to the Hôpital farm. Cross the courtyard and head towards the road.
(3) You will come to the Route de l'Ourcière. Turn right, join the Route des Abrets and continue to the right.
(4) Take the Voie des Fayeux on your right. Walk up to the farm at the end of the street. At this point, take the path on the left. When you reach the Ferme de l'Etergne, continue along the tarmac road towards the EDF transformer.
(5) Turn right. Go up the street, pass a path on your right and, at the next crossroads, turn left and continue to the top.
(6) Turn right onto Route du Chanay, which climbs up into a housing estate. At the next crossroads, turn right (Route du Petit Consuoz). Continue straight ahead until the next crossroads, where you will find the yellow markings again.
(7) Turn right and follow the road. At the next junction, turn right before Bruvillon and walk alongside a farm. At the next fork, continue to the right to quickly reach the car park (S/E).
