Loop starting from Grésin

A lovely walk starting from the banks of the Rhône, leading to the Mont de Cordon viewpoint (altitude 400 m) and offering a beautiful panorama of the Rhône and the Izieu mountain. During the climb, you pass a beautiful private castle and on the way back, you can see three caves that were inhabited during prehistoric times: the Bonne Femme cave, an unnamed cave and the Liévrin cave.

A modest peak in the Savoyard foothills, Mont Tournier offers the opportunity for a pleasant hike to discover the vestiges of the past and the history of the Italian engineer Galetti.

A marked trail allows you to explore several water-related areas (hillside, stream, marsh) around Glandieu and its waterfall.
Some paths are not maintained, see notices.

From Veyrin to Conzieu through woods and lakes
A peaceful hike that starts from the picturesque little hamlet of Veyrin in Saint-Bois in the Ain region and takes us to Conzieu. Peace and quiet guaranteed, with paths that are generally good and easy to walk on. You can drive through the village and start the hike at the point (1) by parking your car in a recess in the road.
On the heights of Saint-Benoît
This is a very beautiful hike, especially after a few days of rain, which feeds the many streams.
The first part up to (1) is not very steep but quite long, so it is best to be in good shape.
Loop around La Bridoire and Saint-Béron

This route alternates between paths and small roads, winding along the ridges and offering views of the Bourbre valley, the Dauphiné, and the Chartreuse and Vercors mountains.
