Parking near the water tower or the football pitch.
(S/E) Head west along theGR®® du Pays de Montbéliard (yellow and red markings).
(1) At the junction, leave the path on your right – which will be your return route – and carry straight on.
(2) Stop to admire the view stretching from Lomont on the left to the foothills of the Vosges on the right. On a clear day, you can see a large number of wind turbines. Then begin the descent towards Villars-sous-Écot along a stony but very shaded path. Continue straight on until you reach the village centre.
(3) Near the fountain, leave theGR®® by turning right onto the D265, towards Colombier-Fontaine.
(4) On leaving the village, leave the D265 and take the path on the right. You’ll pass under the motorway, which can provide some relief from the heat on hot days.
(5) Along the path running parallel to the motorway, if the vegetation allows, you can catch a view of a large section of the motocross track. Carry on to the D123.
(6) Turn right towards Écot and cross over the motorway.
(7) Leave the D123 by taking the track on the right.
(8) Turn left, then carry on straight ahead to rejoin the D123.
(9) Follow it to the right for about twenty metres, then turn right onto Rue de la Courberaie. Ignore the two dead ends on the left.
(1) Turn left to return to the starting point (S/E).
