Description of the walk

Park at the Moulin Burignat.

(S/E) Walk up the Doye stream to the cross.

(1) Cross the bridge on the right, reach the hamlet of Les Laurents and follow the main track. Keep left at the junction with a footpath. Leave the woods and reach a Y-junction with a road.

(2) Turn left onto the road and follow it for about 200 metres, then leave it to take the path on the left. Continue on this path until you reach the hamlet of Faverge.

(3) Take the path on the left, then turn left again about a hundred metres further on. Continue down a gentle slope, then climb briefly to reach a crossroads with a footpath.

(4) Carry on straight ahead and begin the descent to reach the edge of the forest at a place called Sur Cussan.

(5) Walk down the road, cross the bridge over the Doye and pass in front of Saint-Alban Chapel. You will then reach the junction you passed on the way out.

(1) Turn right and follow the route taken on the outward journey in the opposite direction to return to Moulin Burignat (S/E).

Worth a visit

Moulin Burignat is a farm that breeds snails and offers holiday accommodation and a table d’hôtes. You can take a self-guided tour of the snail enclosures (about half an hour) and, if you wish, enjoy a drink at the refreshment bar.
Every Thursday evening in July and August, at 6 pm, you can join a guided tour (free of charge) and, at 8 pm, enjoy a snail-based meal (booking required). You can also stay overnight or have dinner there (booking required).
Just a 5-minute drive away, you can also visit the Moulin de Pont des Vents eco-museum.

A lovely, easy walk – it took us 1h30, rather than the 2h stated (walking at a normal pace). I’d recommend it 👍

⚑Departure from Montagna-le-Templier (Jura)
A lovely circular walk along the Saint-Julien forest track and the Montagna ridge with views over the Suran valley. Very few tarmac sections on this route. The best option is to take a packed lunch and find a nice spot to enjoy it.

⚑Departure from Pouillat (Ain)
I suggest a lovely circular route in the Revermont area, which ends at the Signal de Nivigne and Mont Myon and offers some beautiful panoramic views. There is one difficult section after the Grotte à l'Ours on a fairly steep passage (secured by ropes).

A short circular route starting from the car park at Saint-Hymetière church. Situated at an altitude of over 440 m, the church is nestled on a terrace of glacial deposits. The route will take you towards the Caborne du Bœuf. An impressive 20-metre-high portal opens up in front of thefirst chamber. A pleasant walk overlooking the Valouse Gorges.
