Park in the car parks on Rue des Écoles,
(S/E) Take Rue des Écoles, turn left at the roundabout and continue along Route de Morlange (D302). Cross a single-lane bridge and arrive at a hairpin bend.
(1) Leave the main road and continue straight ahead onto Route d’Arculinge. At the next junction, turn left, cross the village of Merlan, then keep right under the small railway bridge, and do not go straight on towards the signposted ‘impasse du viaduc’.
(2) Continue straight on along the old country road through the fields (view of Reigner-Ésery). At the top of the hill, turn left and cross the farmyard. Turn right and continue up the hill. Pass through the village of Arculinge, staying on the main road.
(3) On leaving the village, turn right (view of the Arve valley) and continue along the Route d’Arculinge, which climbs steadily. At the next major junction, turn left and follow the Route de Moussy.
(4) At the top of the climb as you leave the village, when you start to see Vertraz-Mentroux and Lake Geneva, turn right onto Route de Quart. This is the highest point of this short walk; from here on, it’s all downhill. Follow this road through the fields, admiring the rolling hills and magnificent views of the neighbouring villages. You’ll reach the Yvre crossroads (D302).
(5) Turn right onto Route d’Ésery and follow it down the hill through the pretty village of Cusy. You can take a shortcut via the old farm tracks (marked with trail triangles) rather than walking along the new road.
(6) At Route d'Éssery, walk a few steps to the right and turn immediately left onto the driveway. Just before the driveway, turn right onto the grassy path that runs alongside the stream and fields on the right, and houses on the left. Cross Route d'Éssery again and continue straight ahead.
Cross the railway line, continue straight on for a few dozen metres then turn left onto Chemin de Servasse. This then turns right and becomes a country lane. Follow it to the end of the row of trees on the right, reach a left-hand bend and find the start of a path on the right.
(7) Follow this path to the right as far as the River Foron (you may wish to take a break under the trees at this very special spot).
(8) Cross the bridge and walk up the slope. Pass a school and a community centre, then turn right to return to the car park (S/E).
