(S/E) Set off along the road – this is the Chemin des Granges – until you reach the hairpin bend where a small path begins.
(1) Take this path, crossing the road three more times, until you reach Les Granges de Brison.
(2) Continue towards the Croix de Meyrieux, following the yellow markings on a green background. After the hairpin bend to the right, leave the Combe aux Moines path on your right. Carry on straight ahead to reach a superb viewpoint.
(3) Take a moment to enjoy the view and take some photos. Carry on until you reach another junction of paths.
(4) Take the left-hand path, which climbs quite steeply up the hillside and then becomes very steep, cutting straight up the slope. A flat stretch then leads to the Ancienne Croix de Meyrieux. Take in the view of the Albanais, the Semnoz and the first ridges of the Bauges. Enjoy the scent of the box trees too.
(5) Begin a short, stony climb to reach the Nouvelle Croix de Meyrieux. From here, you can see the town of Aix and the Cluse de Chambéry.
(6) Follow the ridge along a well-marked path on the left which winds between the forest and the cliff. The views change as the path rises and falls. Rejoin the signposted path to reach the pass at the foot of Mont de Corsuet.
(7) Head down to the left along the winding path which allows you to cross the cliffs safely. At the bottom of the switchbacks, join the track that forms part of theGR®®965. Take it to the left. At the 548-metre mark, you’ll come to another junction.
(8) Leave theGR®® and turn off to the right. Carry on and you’ll soon come to a lovely clearing, the starting point of a narrower path.
(9) Take this path to the left and, via a very pleasant descent through the woods, reach the hamlet of Les Granges Dessous.
(10) Walk down part of the road before rejoining, on the right, the path you took on the way out and follow it back to the starting point (S/E).
