The Crucilleux ridges from Saint-Chef
This route faces south, on the slopes of Crucilleux. Very pleasant between September and April/May, it allows you to enjoy every ray of sunshine. Avoid during the hot summer months. It allows you to discover varied landscapes and cross the Balmes Dauphinoises vineyards on the slopes of Crucilleux and Choulin. As you pass through the hamlets of Crucilleux and Arcisse, you can admire beautiful adobe buildings and local heritage sites (calvaries, wash houses, fountains, palisades). The path along the ridges of Mont de Crucilleux offers panoramic views of the mountain ranges from Bugey in the north to Vercors in the south, including Mont Blanc, Vanoise, Belledonne and Chartreuse.Half of this route is on paths and half on small country roads, most of which have little traffic.

Yellow signposts throughout the route. Allow between 3 and 4 hours depending on your pace and photo stops.

Salérieu loop
A lovely loop if you fancy an easy, not too long, shady walk, starting from the Chapelle-de-la-Tour car park, with no special equipment required. You could potentially spot ponies, horses, cattle, etc. We went in May, so we recommend going in the morning for the shade and milder temperatures in summer.

A beautiful, relatively easy walk along roads and paths, allowing you to discover the flora, fauna and habitat of this regional nature reserve. No major difficulties apart from a steady climb in the middle of the route.
A review dated 17/04/23 indicates that a section is now private (6), but it is possible that the marked trail has been diverted or that the hiker was unable to find the path due to construction work. We would appreciate it if anyone passing through the area could confirm or deny this.
