From Colroy-la-Roche to Stampoumont in a circular.

An easy walk to the hamlet of Stampoumont through a beautiful forest, then beautiful views of the pastures, the Donon and the Climont, not to mention the pretty chapel of Stampoumont with its minimalist stained glass windows. A calm and peaceful walk.

Description of the walk

To reach the starting point, at the main crossroads in the village, near the town hall, head down Rue des Pêcheurs and, after 150 m, the village hall is on the left. You can also start from the town hall car park.

(S/E) From the village hall car park, follow Route des Charasses to the left to the edge of the village until you cross the Méribeux.

(1) Ignore the signposted path on the left after the bridge over the stream, and continue along the tarmac road.

(2) At the fork in the road, keep to the left and continue along the road to the educational apiary.

(3) At the crossroads, take the path marked ‘Yellow Cross’ on the left, which climbs slightly, to reach the Charasses crossroads (shelter). Continue straight ahead along the track, following the same markings, heading south.

(4) At the junction, take the road downhill to the left to reach the centre of the hamlet of Stampoumont, opposite the chapel (well worth a visit).

(5) Follow the road to the left, heading north towards the village exit, following the Yellow Ring markings. Walk for about 600 m.

(6) At the bend, turn right onto the dirt track and continue until you are directly beneath the high-voltage power line.

(7) Turn left and head down through the broom to enter the forest, still following the Yellow Ring markings.

(8) At the tarmac road, head up to the left for about 100 m, then turn right into the forest, cross the meadow and head for the village hall car park (S/E).

Worth a visit

(3) Discovery trail: a fun route of just under 2 km, dotted with information boards and outdoor fitness equipment.
(5) Stampoumont Chapel, built in 1960 and featuring minimalist stained-glass windows by Paul Bony.
On the barn of the last farm at the edge of the hamlet, a touch of humour in the form of a weather station made from a pebble.

a very beautiful hike... the village of Stampumont is charming.
from the start to point 2 (school apiary), the hike is on a tarmac road... quite long... it's better to take an alternative route along nicer paths.

A magnificent walk with varied landscapes and environments.
Difficult to find the car park at the village hall, which is the starting point for the walk. No visible signs in the village.

A beautiful hike around Climont, exploring the Hang valley. Between Abatteux and the track leading to the junction with the path taken on the way there, the route is difficult, as the paths have been damaged by forestry machinery.
