Departure from Ramasse (Ain)
I suggest you take a circular route in the Drom valley area, which is unusual in that it has no surface watercourses. After passing through the villages of Ramasse and Drom, the route climbs to a few hills, notably around the Chapelle de Notre-Dame des Conches, offering some lovely views.

Short loop passing through the Hautecourt Cave Nature Reserve. Hike with no technical difficulty, alternating between woodland and open spaces.

Please note that the cave itself is not open to visitors, even though it was France's first underground nature reserve in 1980. Don't be disappointed, though, as there are a dozen information panels on the surface explaining the cave's biodiversity and its exploration in the past. For those interested, there is a 3D tour on the LPO Aura website.

This route, which runs alongside much of this watercourse, starts on a quiet tarmac road and then, from the hamlet of Corcelles, continues on unpaved paths or through the woods. The route is marked in yellow.
