Country:
District:
Park in one of the car parks on the right or left of the D11 at the entrance to the village of Curienne.
(S/E) Stay on the departmental road, pass behind the church and turn left onto Chemin de la Roche for 100 metres.
Turn right onto Chemin de la Côte and then right again onto Chemin des Fontanettes, which descends to the D11.
Take the D11 on the left for about 500 metres.
(1) After the house, turn immediately left onto Chemin de la Paraie. Partly in the woods, partly in the open and at a fairly constant altitude, this beautiful path leads peacefully, in half an hour, to the Stèle du Maquis and the Ferme des Résistants (signpost)
(2) Continue for 300 metres along the path that climbs towards the Col du Joueret and reach the "Chemin de Bellevarde" intersection (signpost).
(3) Turn left. After a hairpin bend to the right, you will reach the "Sous le Grand Joueret" intersection (signpost)
Turn left towards Curienne via La Combette. Walk for about 400m and, just before the entrance to the woods, turn right into the meadow and climb the small hill through the grassy slopes (visible tracks) to the top. You will reach La Bognette, the highest point of the Grand Joueret.
Enjoy the magnificent panorama of the surrounding mountains and the Chambéry valley.
Descend on the south side, following a path to reach the wide track visible below.
You will then see information boards on the grazed lawn and the Grand Joueret castle mound.
Continue for about 100 metres to the left until you reach the "Le Joueret" intersection (signpost)
(4) Turn right towards Mont Saint-Michel. The route is then clearly signposted. Continue to the "Combe du Puits" intersection.
(5) Do not follow the signs for Mont Saint-Michel via Montmermet, but take the signs for Mont Saint-Michel 30 minutes.
You will first arrive at the ruins of the old chapel, where there are information panels about the old and new chapels.
Continue south on the small path and in less than 5 minutes you will reach the new chapel of Mont Saint-Michel.
(6) Go back down the same path. Ignore the path that goes down to the right towards La Boiserette and go to the next crossroads.
(5) Turn right towards Montmerlet. You will come to a paved road. Follow it to the left for 500 metres until you reach a rest area.
(7) At the entrance to the rest area, take the yellow and red marked path on the right, theGRP® du Massif des Bauges (Boucle du Plateau de la Leysse), which crosses the small tarmac road several times and leads back to the D11. Continue left for a few hundred metres to return to the starting point (S/E).
