A very pleasant hike for a short stroll at the end of the weekend. No difficulties and some beautiful views. Not busy at all at this time of year. I didn't find the boxwood forest mentioned in the description, but I did walk through a mossy forest worthy of The Lord of the Rings
Tip 1: If you don't like very steep paths, do the hike in the opposite direction. The climb to the chapel is much gentler.
Tip 2: If you prefer a more challenging hike, start from the car park in the town centre. You'll have some nice slopes to warm up on, and the old village is very pretty.

After a short climb to reach the chapel, we found that the path leading up to it was already well cleared.
As we continued, the forest trails were very pleasant, especially as it wasn't too hot.
We met a few other hikers on the route.
A nice, easy walk.

An easy hike, consistent with the description, but not particularly interesting either. The humid forest on the first part was distressing for some. The second part, on the way back, is unremarkable.

A short hike with two challenging climbs, but easy overall. The landscapes are very varied, the old village of Rougemont is very typical and pretty, and the chapel of Montaucivey (which you have to work hard to reach as the hill is so steep) is adorable in the middle of a meadow. The forest that follows is very interesting, like a rainforest with moss-covered trees. In short, a beautiful and energising hike!

A very good walk completed in 3½ hours (including breaks) with young children (aged 4 months to 6 years). Most of the route is shaded, which is very pleasant. The hardest part was the first hill, which was quite steep for little legs, but once we reached the chapel, the rest was easy going and even the youngest walker (aged 2) walked the 5.6 km without asking to be carried.

A lovely little walk with stunning scenery. Takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes at a brisk pace. You can enjoy the view from "the ridge" just a few steps from the picnic area.
