Departure from Saint-Cyr-de-Valorges (Loire)
A very beautiful walk starting from the car park by the bar in Saint-Cyr-de-Valorges. You’ll walk through the countryside around Saint-Cyr and Violay, passing the Échanssieux dam and then through Violay, before returning via Les Crêtes (GR®®7), where you’ll be treated to two magnificent views: to your right, the Monts du Lyonnais (and, on a clear day, the Alps and Mont Blanc); to your left, the Monts du Forez, the Auvergne and the Cantal.

Departure from Saint-Cyr-de-Valorges (Loire)
Starting from Saint-Cyr-de-Valorges, this route follows the ridges surrounding this small village in the Montagnes du Matin. The first ridge is open and exposed. The second section, on theGR®®7, is through woodland.Located halfway along the route, Lac de Saint-Cyr – more of a pond really – is ideal for a break in the shade.The return journey offers beautiful, unobstructed views over the plain and the Monts du Forez.
