A hike with a relatively even elevation gain, which mainly takes place in the undergrowth and offers occasional views of the peaks.

On this fairly flat loop, you follow a stream and then a river where brown trout breed. You will discover some beautiful restored houses and mills, a spring, a lake... An easy, short and enjoyable hike, best done in good weather in summer when La Gère is low, due to the need to ford the river.

Explore the old village of Pinet and its castles, then the Pinet tower, before descending through the forest and meadows, enjoying unobstructed views of the Pilat massif, the Monts du Lyonnais and Mont Verdun in the Monts d'Or.

A fairly easy hike alternating between forest trails and wide open views. Best done in dry weather with clear skies to make the most of the views of the Alps and the beautiful hills and valleys at the start of the route. This is an opportunity to discover the Château de Septème.

This is a varied hike that crosses the Blaches Forest via a wide track before descending to the Combe de Vau nature reserve with its beautiful rolling hills. The return journey takes you through the old hamlet of Pinet, where you can discover some historical curiosities. This hike is also suitable for mountain bikes.

This is a short walk with no great difficulty, except for a steep hill at the start.

A short route through the countryside and valleys of northern Isère. On days with good visibility, you can enjoy beautiful views of the surrounding peaks.

A charming walk that alternates between forest and countryside. It takes place alternately on dirt tracks and small asphalt roads. The elevation gain is divided into three distinct phases and is therefore not too arduous.

This walk alternates between wide-open views of the surrounding valleys and distant mountain ranges (Monts du Lyonnais, Pilat, Alps) and pretty, fairly hilly sections in the forest. This hike can be shortened at various points, see the box "During the hike or nearby".

An easy walk in the village of Estrablin which, over the course of two hours, offers large open views over the surrounding hills and mountains. We mainly take small peaceful tarmacked country lanes, which means you can enjoy a walking excursion even after heavy rainfall and when the paths are almost impassable.

You start by taking paths and small roads that wind through the peaceful Dauphiné countryside, then return through the beautiful Blaches Forest. There are no difficulties to report along this walk.

In autumn, the Fromentaux woods are full of chestnuts. In good weather, you can see Mont Blanc and the Alps from the heights. The route also takes us to the small spring at Maison Badin, passes through La Beaume and Les Combes, crosses the small stream of La Vesonne and returns via the peaceful By pond. We also walk alongside numerous meadows where horses graze.

A short walk that will take you to the Étang de Monjoux and its educational trail. On the way back, you will pass in front of the Saint-Pierre Chapel in Bournay.

This is an easy walk, alternating between woodland and hedgerow. There are several fords, which may be more or less difficult depending on the water level.

This is an easy walk. It is shaded and passes by numerous ponds.

A short, easy and enjoyable stroll. You will walk alongside ponds, cross through woods on wide, pleasant paths (which can sometimes be a bit muddy...). The peaks of Pilat are visible in the distance. Thanks to Marc for this walk!

In the heart of the Bonnevaux Forest, this is an easy, short walk with plenty of shade in summer. You will walk alongside several ponds.

An easy route alternating between hills, forests, ponds and views of the mountains in the distance. A superb 360° panorama in the village of Pommiers-de-Beaurepaire.

This is a nice walk which mostly consists of walking around the town through beautiful forests and fields. This route is a nice alternative to avoid any slippery and muddy parts when it has rained a lot. It also passes through a historical cemetery and church where you can stop for a lunch break.

Starting from Luzinay, between wetlands and shady forests. Beautiful views of the Pilat, Vercors and Mont Blanc mountains and the Lyon metropolitan area. Depending on the season, between the start (S/E) and point (3), in the morning you may see storks resting in the wetlands of the Sévenne valley, grey herons and great egrets. The first part of the route, up to point (6), is mainly flat terrain on small roads with little traffic during the day and a few small paths. After the village of Villette-de-Vienne, deer and pheasants can often be seen on the hillsides, for those who know how to be discreet and observant. The end of the route takes you past the medieval chapel of Illins (11th and 13th centuries) and its cemetery. There are no particular difficulties in terms of orientation, but signposts are rare, if not non-existent.

In good weather, you will have magnificent views of the Alps and the Lyon metropolitan area.
