Departure from Ambérieu-en-Bugey (Ain)
A beautiful walk through the forests starting from the pretty blue lake of Vareille, a village nestled by the Gardon stream. An uphill climb from the start will take you to the ruins of Saint-Germain Castle, a listed historical monument currently undergoing archaeological exploration. You will be delighted to discover the small hamlets below Château des Allymes, the village of Douvres and the forests of Ambérieu.
