City:
Park at the La Soierie municipal centre, where there are two car parks on either side of the centre.
(S/E) Head towards the centre via Rue Carnot; you’ll soon reach the junction with the road leading to the château.
(1) Continue straight on opposite Rue Carnot, then take Rue de la Fontaine. Shortly before reaching the Glière stream, you’ll come to Saint Ruph at the boules court.
(2) Take the footbridge on the right. Start climbing a slope that is a bit steep at first to reach the hamlet of Le Lachat, signposted on a post at the boules court.
(3) Carry on to the right; you’ll soon join theGRP®® of the Massif des Bauges, signposted in red and yellow.
(4) Take the path on the left and follow it to the crossroads in the hamlet of Glaise.
(5) Leave theGRP®® here and turn left onto the path where there is a wooden sign pointing to Seythenex. Turn left onto a descent leading down to the river, the Saint Ruph.
(6) Cross the river via a concrete footbridge known as the ‘Pont du facteur’. Begin a further ascent to reach the D 112, the Route de la Sambuy.
(7) Cross the road to find a small path – not very visible at first – which descends and joins the D112. Continue along this road, passing through the village of Seythenex. Walk past the school, then take the first road on the right and the next one on the right again. You will then reach the Grand Pont de Seythenex.
(8) Cross the bridge without any worries as it is for pedestrians only (there is a commemorative stone at the entrance marking the bridge’s construction). At the end of the bridge, turn left onto the Route de Tamié (D12) for a few metres and then turn immediately right towards La Raynoz. On your left, you’ll find the Route de Tamié again; follow it for a few metres before coming to a small path which turns into a track and descends between the Bard stream and the Nant Debout. At the confluence of the streams with the Saint-Ruph torrent, you’ll enter the village of Le Villaret.
(9) Walk along the road. Take care. Take care also when crossing the Route de Tamié again a little further on; via the Chemin de la Vie Plaine, you’ll arrive in front of Faverges Castle and head downhill to reach Rue des Fabriques, rejoining Rue Carnot at the junction you passed on the way out.
(1) Turn right to easily return to the Soierie car park (S/E).
