Park in the car park near the Saint-Martin bridge
(S/E). Start the route with a return walk along the Gorges de l’Échaillon.
To do this, head south, cross the Guiers Vif via the Saint-Martin Bridge and, at the signpost, take the path on the left. Follow the Gorges to the dead end (Take care after rain, as the path is slippery).
(1) Return to the starting point.
(S/E) Take the path on the right onto theGR®9. There are some pleasant views along this fairly steep stretch leading to a junction known as l’Échaillon.
(2) Stay on theGR®9, continuing straight ahead towards Corbel. This section through the woodland presents no difficulty; after offering a viewpoint over the Grande Sure, it enters a beautiful, peaceful forest before reaching a junction of paths known as Les Charmilles.
(3) Leave theGR®9, which continues straight ahead, and follow the Sentier du Belvédère, marked in yellow, to the left. Less than 1 km further on, you’ll reach the junction known as Bois de la Ravoire.
(4) Head straight on towards the viewpoint, which is about a hundred metres away. Enjoy a 180° panoramic view stretching from the Grande Sure to Mont Beauvoir. Continue along the route until, a little further on, you reach another junction of paths.
(5) Turn left towards the Grottes tourist site. Further on, the path turns into a ladder-like flight of steps (take extreme care after rain) before reaching the Voie Sarde.
(6) Turn right if you wish to visit the caves (guided tours only).
Take this old royal road to the left. Information boards and the Charles Emmanuel II memorial are located along this section.
Further on, the Voie Sarde path turns into a small road before joining the D46.
Follow it to the left to return to the car park and finish the walk (S/E).
