Departure from Saint-Cyr-le-Chatoux (Rhône)
A beautiful, fairly wild loop starting from the charming village of Saint-Cyr-le-Chatoux, on a pass between Villefranche-sur-Saône and the Azergues valley.
The trails are mainly in the forest with plenty of shade. A complete change of scenery.
Beautiful unobstructed views from the moors at the top of the Bois des Allemands.

Departure from Cogny (Rhône) (Rhône)
This day hike is intended for experienced walkers. Its appeal lies in the long kilometres of solitude, where hikers can find themselves while awakening their senses by listening to the various sounds of nature and enjoying the magnificent landscapes where the ridge line oscillates from "very high" to "walker's height".
This hike is difficult due to its length and elevation gain. In total, slopes greater than 7% stretch over 11 kilometres. In addition, orientation is complicated fromthe 11th tothe 13th kilometre as there are many crossroads. The psychological impact should not be overlooked, as you will almost always take the uphill paths at the crossroads. For this very difficult hike, be sure to take all the necessary precautions.
