Description of the walk

Car park just before the bridge at Chavannes-sur-Suran.

(S/E) From the car park, cross the bridge to start the walk, turn left immediately at the cemetery and continue due north to the next junction.

(1) At the junction, turn right onto Rue des Déserts in the hamlet of Chavuissiat le Petit. At the entrance, turn left then right and take the small grassy path on the left next to the stone house, to enter the woodland. At the end of the path, turn right and follow the path as it climbs gently.

(2) When you reach the grassy area, turn right towards the colourful garages, then turn left to reach the hamlet of Cuvergnat.

(3) At the village square, turn right. At the end of the village, at the next junction, follow the road (D3A) straight ahead, which descends towards the village of Chavannes-sur-Suran.

(4) At the junction, continue along the road to follow theGRP® Tour du Revermont.
Enter the woodland on the right and follow the signposts.

(5) At the bottom of the woodland path, turn right onto the road leading downhill.
Leave the road quickly and take the second path on the left (be careful to take the steep path leading down immediately). The yellow and red markings are on the tree in front of you, slightly hidden by branches.

(6) At the crossroads, take the path straight ahead which continues to descend to a road. At the bottom of the path, follow the road to reach the car park at Chavannes-sur-Suran (S/E)..

A lovely walk.
Please note: the descent on the way back is not recommended in wet weather; continue along the road and take a path on the left – a longer route but more accessible.

A lovely walk in the countryside. Not much road walking. The start of the path at marker 5 isn’t very well signposted, and I was a bit taken aback to find myself heading down this steep, stony slope. Walking poles are recommended for this section of the route between markers 5 and 6.

Hello,

We went on this walk yesterday and really enjoyed discovering this little village, the Suran, the hamlets, the flora... It was a very peaceful experience.
However, you do need to pay close attention to the route description. We nearly went the wrong way twice. Fortunately, the app helped us out.

The most troublesome part of this path is the steep section (between 5 and 6). As well as being steep, it’s very, very stony. Yesterday, on the wet ground from the recent rain, the stones were extremely unstable. It would have been wise to have walking poles.
Towards the end, there were fewer stones but, no doubt due to forestry work, a lot of very sticky mud under our shoes!!!

Because of this, we can’t say it’s an ‘easy’ hike suitable for everyone. This deserves a few additions to the description.

Thank you for all the suggestions on Visorando. It was our first time trying it out... we’ll be back.

Kind regards,

Hello, I admit it, I should have made it clear that one part was particularly difficult for children or elderly people.
As for the scenery, there are some lovely spots to look at, including the landscapes; as for the trees, there’s not much I can do about that.
I’ll see if I can add more walks, taking into account whether they’re suitable for experienced hikers or beginners.
Thank you for your advice.
Kind regards.

A very pleasant walk. A chance to explore a pretty village.
One small point: I would rate the difficulty as ‘moderate’, given the elevation gain.

from the start to 1, road
from 1 to 3, climb through a tunnel of greenery eaten away by the Pyréles
3 to 4, road
5 to 6: steep, dangerous with children or older people.
To be corrected: not an easy climb
Nearby: beautiful scenery... not seen
I do not recommend this hike

⚑Departure from Chavannes-sur-Suran (Ain)
Descending from the nearby Jura mountains, the Suran has a peaceful valley where water flows abundantly. It has a very active underground course between Chavannes and downstream from Meyriat. The Suran can disappear for much of the year. This route, which runs alongside much of this watercourse, starts on a quiet tarmac road and then, from the hamlet of Corcelles, continues on unpaved paths or through the woods. The route is marked in yellow.
