Description of the walk

Park in the Oron cinema car park.

(S/E) Cross the street and the Place du Jeu de Paume. At the end of the square, turn left onto Rue du 4 Septembre. Go up to the right and turn left onto Rue du Peuple. Cross the car park to reach Avenue Victor Hugo, then turn right twice to follow Montée du Château. Follow the right-hand branch at the Y.

(1) Turn right onto Chemin des Ruettes. Continue straight ahead until you reach a slight bend to the right with a curve that returns to the left.

(2) Turn right for 50 metres, then right again between the houses. At the end, follow the start of the path (wooden pedestrian chicane) and continue straight ahead until you reach the tarmac road (Chemin de la Barrière). Turn left and climb for about 30 metres.

(3) Turn right onto Sentier du Loup. Further on, take the path on the left, leaving the water tower on your right. At the next T-junction, turn left and then take the first path on the right. Continue for about 600 metres until you reach Route de Pisieu, opposite the Boussard house.

(4) Turn right, walk about 100 metres, then leave the road and turn right onto Chemin de la Ronat, which descends towards the village. Join Route de Grenoble and turn left. Cross the street at the pedestrian crossing and continue to the left.

(5) Take the first street on the right, Route de Marcollin. Cross the Suzon bridge and continue straight on to the Bigalettes sports complex.

(6) Turn right onto Chemin du Battoir and follow the stream. You will come out onto Rue du 5 Août 1944. Continue straight ahead, following the parking spaces. When the road turns right, leave it and continue straight ahead to reach the banks of the Oron, which you will follow to the right. You will come to a turning area near the swimming pool.

(7) Cross the small footbridge and continue straight ahead to the cinema car park (S/E).

Notes

An easy route, well known to the residents of Beaurepaire.

Worth a visit

Following the storm in November 2019, the path that normally runs alongside the castle grounds has been closed. I hope the local council will repair the damage; I will then amend the description.

Hello,
Thank you for your review. It's only a short walk, but it means that residents of Beaurepaire and Saint Barth don't have to take the car. The church renovation has indeed been very successful.
Enjoy your walks in our nearby region.

We chose to park in front of St Barthélémy Church. This building has been completely renovated. We went inside and it is magnificent. The walls are painted in exceptionally fresh colours and the stained glass windows are superb... This is a must-see. We then followed the circular route described, except that we avoided the streets in the centre of Beaurepaire by turning right just before the school. We headed north, passing in front of the Casino supermarket. At the crossroads with the main road, we went straight on, climbing the small street with a 20% gradient until we rejoined the circular route described.

Hello, Mr. Unknown, alias Marchoucrève,
You did not follow the hiking trail description or the route, which is not marked in yellow but in purple.
Please note that you need the description for the start, but once you have the map in your hand or on your mobile phone, you can't go wrong.
If you are looking for more difficult hikes, there are many on the Visorando website.
Thank you for your unjustified criticism.
Kind regards

An easy walk, but difficult to find your way with the map because the names of the paths only appear on the map.
We followed the yellow line, which took us on a much longer circular route.
As it is quite flat, we had no reliable landmarks.
Otherwise, you cross fields and forests, and the paths are nice.
We weren't in the right direction to fully enjoy the view.

But if you're looking for an easy and peaceful walk, go for it.

Happy hiking, everyone.

This easy route is very pleasant. It ends at Beaurepaire along the river. It is a bit crowded, but it is calm and soothing.

A lovely, very easy short hike, ideal for when it has rained heavily. We take small roads and paths without mud.
