A fantastic route that is accessible even with children aged 5 and 7. The view from the top is superb and there is a spot slightly below that is perfect for a picnic.

The climb is worth it. Magnificent view from the orientation table. Descent through the forest.

Very busy on 1 January. The weather was fine and the view of the Alps and the Rhône Valley was magnificent.

We enjoyed this beautiful trail. Admittedly, the climb is very steep, but my walking sticks helped me a lot, especially on the large rocks. The effort was well worth it, though, because a breathtaking view awaited us at the top.
It's a shame that the information on the small viewpoint has been removed, as it's difficult to find your way around when you're not from the area.
We then passed the chapel and the statue of the Virgin Mary and descended along a pleasant path through the woods, where we encountered a deer playing hide-and-seek behind the trees.
We returned to the car park at the Col de Grenouze, where tables were waiting for us to have a snack.
Make sure you wear suitable footwear.

Although the climb is a bit challenging, the descent is very pleasant, on good paths. It might be better to do the route in reverse.
The view from the summit is immense.

An easy walk, certainly suitable for families, but the first part is on a stony path and there is a steep incline.
It takes some effort, but it's a very pleasant hike with beautiful views of the Rhône Valley.
Don't hesitate!

Thank you for this lovely suggestion.
We weren't able to enjoy the view due to the gloomy weather and a few drops of rain, but we really enjoyed the tranquillity of the places we passed through. It's an unpretentious route, but it helps to clear your head.

For those lucky enough to have good weather, you won't regret it, especially on the first part at the top of the climb, where you'll have some lovely views. I know it well, as I often cross the northern part of Pilat by mountain bike or running, passing through this first part of the route.

There are some very nice picnic tables in the car park (the car park is not often full).

A family walk on a Sunday morning.

A very beautiful walk. Lovely views of Pilat, the Rhône Valley and the Monts du Lyonnais... slightly less so of the Alps.

The climb at the start is 1 km long and, be warned, quite rocky.

Despite the cold and wind, we met lots of people.

Simple and accessible, after doing it in the suggested direction, where the steepest part is uphill, we thought that doing it the other way round might also suit people who prefer a gentler climb with fewer stones.

very useful, as the trails in Pilat are not always well marked
On 14 September, it was very hot and the view was clear
