Les Ardillats walks

A hike on the highest summit of the Rhône Department.

The three châteaux in Quincié-en-Beaujolais are well worth a visit. What's more, you'll pass through a highly varied landscape of vineyards, forests and meadows. The three châteaux trail is very well signposted and offers 4 variants of varying lengths.

This hike will take you to the heights of the Beaujolais region, where you can admire the vineyards, the Saône valley and, in the distance, the Alps, weather permitting. It alternates between vineyards and forests, following the GR®76 for a while. The signposting is varied, so it is not described here.

A hike in Beaujolais through vineyards and forests, starting from Juliénas near Belleville. This hike can be shortened or lengthened (see description).

Wonderful hike in Burgundy to discover "Solutré" (a landmark) and the "Rock of Vergisson”.

A delightful stroll through boxwood and vineyards, with the added bonus of a splendid panoramic view from the top of the famous Roche de Solutré.The return journey, via the north, takes you off the official route and away from the tourist traffic.

Short version of the long loop from La Grange du Bois (proposed on this site), done with children aged 7 to 12, who really enjoyed it!

A lovely route along the paths of sunny Burgundy. Leaving Chaintré, we reach the crests of the mountains, with beautiful views of the Bois de Fée, Mont de Pouilly and La Grange du Bois. Along the way, we come across several fine castles: Château des Rontés, Château de Chasselas, Château de Leynes, Château de Lavérnette.

A hike along the balconies in the south of Burgundy through the vineyards.

A scenic walk between the mountain passes of Col du Châtoux and Col du Joncin.

From Col du chatoux (or col du Chêne), this hike goes through woods along the ridge line offering wonderful views: -over the Saône and eastern Beaujolais valleys - over Azergues Valley to the west.

A lovely, easy walk through the woods above Chamelet.

On the GR®7 trail, between the Col des Vaux in the commune of Verosvres and Mont Rigaud, passing through the village of Saint-Bonnet-des-Bruyères. There are many shaded sections in the forest and beautiful landscapes. The trail is sometimes unmarked, so bring an IGN map, but it is preferable to have a GPS device.

On the GR®7 trail between the Col des Vaux, in the commune of Verosvres, and Chevagny-sur-Guye, passing by the Butte de Suin This is a very quiet section of the GR®7. There are no signposts at some junctions and no footprints in the tall grass to mark the route, so you must take an IGN map with you, although a GPS device is preferable. This section of the GR® needs to be more popular, as it is not difficult and offers beautiful scenery. The view from the Butte de Suin is magnificent.

This walk, with its slight incline, is ideal for stretching your legs if you've got a couple of hours to spare.
