The starting point is in the southern part of Lake Nantua, very close to the campsite. After following the lake to its end (you will pass the "l'Embarcadère" hotel on your left), leave your vehicle not far from the railway line in a small cul-de-sac parallel to the railway line (very close to Rue du Docteur Crezel).
(S/E) Turn left onto Avenue du Camping, cross the railway line and a stream, then turn left again onto Chemin de la Vierge and continue for 500 metres.
(1) When you reach an intersection, turn right onto Chemin de Chamoise. Continue to the first viewpoint, Les Doigts du Diable, which overlooks Lake Nantua.
(2) Continue climbing until you reach the next intersection.
(3) Turn left, continue for about 400 metres, then take a well-marked path on the right.
(4) At the crossroads, turn left and climb up the path that then heads south-east. Walk along the cliff and enjoy the exceptional views of the lake and the twists and turns of the A40 motorway (Autoroute des Titans). Stay on the path closest to the cliff until you reach the highest point at 1,127 metres. You can rest after this effort and even have a picnic while enjoying the unique landscape (Lake Sylans, Mont Blanc).
(5) Begin the descent by following the path that heads southwest. At the first intersection, turn left to go around the mountain on a path that descends the hillside. At a more open area that can be used as a car park, turn left and continue for 500 metres until you reach a forest road.
(6) From here, you can't go wrong. Just stay on this white road to return to the junction you passed on the way there.
(1) Continue straight ahead on the same path until you reach your destination (S/E).
