Lantenay (Côte-d'Or) walks

A good climb over a reasonable distance. A pleasant hike along the ridges of the combes, combining rocky landscapes, forests and caves. The route is fairly shady, ideal in fine weather.

A beautiful walk around Lantenay leading to the Pasques plateau via the little Chapelle Saint-Louis.The return journey takes you over the Combe d'Arvaux, with its panoramic views over the Ouche valley.

An unusual and pleasant forest walk, made easier by the local council and residents of Pasques, leading to the Abîme du Creux Percé and the Poste du Président, as well as to the discovery of a few abandoned dwellings scattered here and there; places sometimes steeped in history dating from the Early Middle Ages or the 11th to 14th centuries.

Discover several major attractions – Combe aux Mammouths, Saut à la Carpe and Creux Percé – from the village of Pasques. Not too much elevation gain and long stretches through the forest to shelter from the sun or wind.

A circular route starting from Fleurey-sur-Ouche which, running alongside the Burgundy Canal, takes us to Pont de Pany before heading up towards La Chassagne (golf course, castle, farm and private aerodrome) to reach the archaeological site of Mediolanum. Return via the outskirts of Mâlain and Ancey, before heading back down to Fleurey through the Combe Jardin and the Bois de Morcueil.

A circular route starting from Fleurey-sur-Ouche that leads to two plateaus via the Cave aux Loups, a ruined feudal castle belonging to the Dukes of Burgundy, the Chapelle Saint-Louis, the Château de Lantenay and the Viaduc de Fain, before returning via the suburbs of Velars-sur-Ouche and the banks of the Ouche.

Combe d'Arvaux, known as Combe aux Mammouths, with its Cave aux Loups.

A beautiful view from Roche Aigüe and an interesting glimpse at old mining installations

This route, starting from Ancey, will allow you to discover this picturesque village and will take you from the mysterious, wooded Combe Piron to two viewpoints:- the Combe Piron viewpoint, overlooking the forest of the combe, Notre-Dame d'Étang and Mont Afrique,- the Roche Aigüe viewpoint, which offers views of the Ouche valley, the village of Mâlain, the cliffs of Baulme-la-Roche and the surrounding countryside. On the way back, you can explore the Roche Aigüe limestone quarry, whose walls are pierced by two deep tunnels closed off by gates to protect the bats from curious humans.

Walk on the Velars-sur-Ouche plateau, on the border with Plombières-lès-Dijon, through woods and farmland, with sections through four valleys. The Fontenotte and Tuilerie springs are on the route.

A challenging hike with elevation gain, ideal for preparing for mountain races.

A circular loop through the woods to (re)discover this famous monument in the Dijon region, which has undergone a beautifully executed restoration. And beautiful views of the Dijon region and the Ouche valley. A very pleasant walk on a full moon night.

This hike, which includes a steep climb (called the Montée du Ouf by hikers from Dijon), allows you to discover the historic Leuzeu farm, which is very well equipped for hikers, and Mont Afrique, one of the highest points in the Côte d'Or.

In the forest of Velars-sur-Ouche, you’ll reach Mont Aigu amidst moss-covered hills, creating the impression of being in a spectacular world. At the Roche d’Anse viewpoint, a panorama unfolds over the surrounding plains and forested hills. You won’t want to miss taking a photo of the Anse just below. You’ll pass the 15th-century Château de Montculot. The building was unfinished when Lamartine acquired it in 1760. In the village of Urcy, you can have a picnic at the wash house near the church. On Rue Lamartine, a local sculptor exhibits unique works. Through the woods of Combe Roulé and then Combe à la Feuille, you’ll reach Arcey, where the houses have been beautifully renovated. Through the Arcey forest via the Jean Sage Trail, then the Bois de la Chapelle aux Chiens, you’ll arrive at the Burgundy Canal. Return to Pont de Pany by following the canal. If you wish, there is a pub near the station car park.

The rocky spur of Roche d'Anse is the highest point of Plain de Suzard (532m). Like a bow, a natural arch completes the southern entablature, reminiscent of the cliff at Étretat.
