Park at the sports ground at Saillant du Gua; parking is easy there.
(S/E) To start the route, take the small road leading to Essart Garin. This road heads due south and is completely flat.
(1) When you reach the Combelouve stud farm, look for a small path to the right of the road that climbs into the forest. The path joins a small road leading to a house. Continue along this road until you reach the road leading to the hamlets of Chaudemeyre and Mitonnière.
(2) Turn right onto it until you reach the first houses of Riveteyre.
(3) Turn left, cross the D8 road leading up to the Col de l'Arzelier and pass through the hamlet of Riveteyre. On leaving the hamlet, turn right and follow the small road leading to the hamlet of Les Grands Amieux.
(4) After passing under the high-voltage power line, ignore the path leading up to the left towards Les Petits Amieux and continue in the same direction. The road begins to descend, passing through the hamlet of Les Grands Amieux. Descend three hairpin bends.
(5) After the last houses, take a path on the left that leads downhill to the Champa stream.
(6) Just before you reach the tarmac road again, take a path on the left leading to the foot of the waterfall. After visiting the waterfall, retrace your steps.
(6) Return to the small road, turn left and continue down towards the village.
(7) Turn right onto Rue de la Poste, then left onto Rue du Ravier, cross the main road again and continue along the same street.
(8) Keep to the right to reach Rue de la Gresse and the starting point at the sports ground (S/E).
A short, easy walk – the only downside was that there were a few too many small tarmac roads. I didn’t see any hikers on this route, but there were quite a few Sunday strollers.
