Park in the car park at the exit of Sainte-Hélène-du-Lac towards the lake.
(S/E) Cross the road and take the small wooden bridge to the left. After walking alongside bamboo, the trail comes to a road.
(1) Turn left and then immediately right at the crossroads, towards La Chavanne. Continue straight ahead, passing the wayside cross on your left, then the farm and the house.
(2) Take the path on the left. This fairly steep and stony path leads to a ridge. Take the path on the left that follows the ridge line. At the top, turn left then right. Immediately after, take the path on the left that leads to the water tanks.
(3) Enjoy the unobstructed view of the Belledonnes and the Chartreuse. Return to the crossroads and continue left. The path is flat at first, then begins to descend and joins a paved road.
At the next crossroads, turn left and continue to the end of the street. At the end of the tarmac, continue straight ahead on the grassy path which immediately turns right. Follow it along the edge of the woods until you reach the next Y-junction.
(4) Continue straight ahead down a fairly steep descent into the woods, which leads to a road.
Go up this road to the right for a few metres, then turn left at the hairpin bend to go down the steep street.
Follow it to the end, take the road on the right for 50 metres before turning left onto a wide farm track that runs alongside a long house.
(5) At the next crossroads, in a wide bend, turn left, then 50 metres further on, turn left again and follow a ditch, often filled with water, to the end. The path runs between the ditch and the marsh.
After passing the hamlet of Pognient on your left, the new cemetery and the new school, return to the car park where you started (S/E).
After having a picnic near the lake, we spent a pleasant afternoon wandering around the village and admiring the beautiful views. Thank you.
