Start from the church; there is a car park nearby.
(S/E) Walk round the back of the church, heading towards the viaduct.
(1) From the viaduct, head uphill towards the hamlet of Les Crottes on your left. You can admire Morbier as you climb.
(2) At the hamlet of Les Crottes, head straight on towards Les Trois Commères. Take care, as you’ll be walking along the edge of the cliffs, keeping to the right-hand side at all times. Continue through the forest along some lovely paths until you reach the road.
(3) Walk up the (quiet) road to the left for 200 m until you reach the hamlet of Les Trois Commères.
(4) Turn right towards Roche Devant and carry on along lovely paths with views over the valley. On your left, you can admire the Trois Commères (rock formations). You’ll come to a fork in the path.
(5) Turn right and carry on until you reach the start of a path on the right.
(6) Take a short round trip to the right towards the La Roche Devant viewpoint. The direction is not signposted.
On your return, continue to the right, towards Bellefontaine, until you reach a house and its farm
(7) Turn right onto the road (which has little traffic).
(8) At a place called Chaux Mourant, carry on along the road to the left until you reach a three-way junction. Turn right across the field; after about a hundred metres, you’ll reach Sacré-Cœur, where you can enjoy a magnificent view of the valley.
(9) Return to the junction, ignore the entrance to the house and turn right to reach the three-way junction at Sous le Chalet.
(10) Turn left onto Route du Chalet, heading towards Les Vignes, and quickly take the forest track on the right. At the next junction, turn left, enter the forest and, after about 200 metres, turn right.
(11) At the meadow, keep to the right and continue through the woodland. Turn left at the next two junctions and you’ll come out onto a road.
(12) Carry straight on along the road and, 100 m further on, leave it and take a grassy path on the left.
(13) At a place called Les Vignes, carry on straight ahead towards Stade des Marais, still following lovely paths. Walk past the Chalet Pécaud, then turn right about a hundred metres further on. Carry on until you find an inconspicuous path on the right once you reach the edge of the woods at a place called Le Matin du Chemin.
(14) Follow this path to the right, heading towards Les Préhez (1.1 km). Continue downhill; at the next junction, turn left and head slightly uphill. The path turns right along the edge of the woodland. Cross a track leading to the pastures, then carry on straight ahead until you emerge from the woodland at Stade des Marais.
(15) At the Stade des Marais, you can take a break (picnic table). Take the road opposite, then the path on the left, back into the forest. Follow the yellow markings. As you leave the woods, walk along the edge for a few metres, then be careful: as soon as you see the campsite, take the path on your left that leads down to it.
(16) Do not enter the campsite, but go round it on the left and take the faintly marked path on the left at the clearing in the trees. Cross the meadow and then head into the woodland opposite. The path climbs, veers to the left, then bends to the right and reaches a fork at a place called ‘le Réservoir’. Turn right towards Morbier. Walk down to the houses.
(17) Ignore them and carry on straight on until you reach the viaduct.
(2) Cross the viaduct again, heading in the opposite direction to your outward journey.
(1) Turn left towards Le Belvédère after 300 m.
(18) Retrace your steps, then, after about 100 m, take a path on the left leading to the Route Blanche, where you can admire the viaduct on your right. Turn right and you’ll come back to the church (S/E).
