Mont Ordon-Verrier, south side

This relatively easy walk, which presents no navigational difficulties, starts in Giromagny. It heads towards Auxelles-Haut and forms a circular route halfway up Mont Ordon-Verrier. On the return journey, the path partly follows the Giromagny-Lepuix Mining Trail and passes through beautiful deciduous and coniferous forests throughout.

Description of the walk

Car park at Giromagny cemetery.

(S/E) Heading north, cross the D12 carefully and take the Allée des Moutons, marked with a Red Triangle, for about 230 m.

(1) Leave the marked path that goes straight on and take the one marked with a Green Ring, which turns left. Ignore the side paths and continue to a forest track (marked by a stone marker).

(2) Continue straight ahead on the right-hand side along the same path marked with a Green Ring until you reach a fork.

(3) Turn right onto a forest track and follow it for 300 m.

(4) Take the path on the right marked with the Yellow Ring and head uphill. 330 m further up, the path veers to the right and becomes a forest track.

(5) Turn right onto the nature trail.

(6) Turn right onto the path marked with a Red Triangle until you reach the car park. 450 m further on, stay on this same path by turning right, walk 750 m and return to the junction from the outward journey.

(1) Continue straight on to the car park (S/E).
