Parking is available at the Route de Lispach car park to the south of the lake dam.
(S/E) From the car park, cross the road and, keeping slightly to the right, head for the Chemin de Mariron, which is opposite Lac de Lispach. Take this path on the left; it passes behind the ESF building at Lispach and under the ski lift, leading to a junction of marked trails.
(1) Take the hairpin bend to the right and join the ‘Red Ring’ (Anneau Rouge) path (and the ‘Green Rectangle’ (Green Rectangle) section of the GR®533). As you enter the woods, head up a steep path. After a sharp bend to the left (elevation 1039), you’ll reach a crossroads (elevation 1131).
(2) Leave the Chemin de Mariron and turn right onto the Chemin de la Bourrique, which leads to the Abri des Champis. This shelter, with its spring, is a pleasant spot for a picnic break.
(3) Leave the Abri des Champis and head up to the ridge to admire the Vologne valley and Bresse-Hohneck to the east. Head south-south-east again, entering the woods. Follow the path marked with Yellow Triangles for a while, descending to the ‘Abri du Collet de l’Étang’, which is situated in a clearing at a crossroads.
(4) After a break at the Abri du Collet, take the hairpin bend to the right, following the path to the left and behind the shelter. A sign indicates the Chemin de la Piquançoire (marked with the GR®533’s Green Rectangle symbols). After a wide bend to the right, it is joined by the Chemin des Champis (marked with Yellow Diamonds) coming from the left.
(5) Continue straight on. At the next junction of paths, leave the GR®533 and the yellow diamond markings. Turn left onto the Chemin de la Tenine, marked with a green rectangle with a white bar. After a 90° bend to the right, the path heads north. You’ll reach a junction of paths.
(6) Maintain your direction and follow the signposts. A few hundred metres further on, the path passes the Goutte de la Tenine.
(7) Continue along the path, which descends gradually until you reach the left-hand bend leading to the Route de Lispach.
(8) At the bend, leave the Chemin de la Tétine and carry on straight ahead along the Sentier Pédagogique, which crosses the Red Drop, then runs alongside the road to rejoin the car park on the Route du Lispach (S/E).
