Salvizinet walks

I recommend this hike when nature is waking up in mid-April, to enjoy the green meadows and bright yellow dandelions. There are unobstructed views over much of the route. The ridge offers beautiful views of the Loire and Rhône departments. Picnics by the pond are very enjoyable and peaceful. The return trail near the river (Turdine) is very wild and quiet.

Beautiful 360° view at Mont Popey on the northern edge of the Monts du Lyonnais with, as a bonus in good weather, a breathtaking view to the east of the Monts d'Or, the Alps and Mont Blanc. Interesting ridge trail in the forest or open countryside, well marked with beautiful views. A paragliding launch site where, in good weather, you can enjoy the spectacular views! The climb up Mont Popey and the descent to Mas Saint-Jean are a little steep, but take your time!

This circuit with pleasant trails allows us to admire views of Amplepuis and its surroundings, the Château de Rochefort and splendid views of the Monts du Lyonnais, Tarare and its surroundings. Not to be missed. Following work to install wind turbines, the French Hiking Federation has significantly modified the route at point (8) to divert theGR®7. I have redrawn the route as indicated by the FFR, so please follow this modification to complete the circuit.

This beautiful circular route from Duerne takes you along well-marked paths and tracks, often shaded, to discover the varied landscapes of this little-known part of the Monts du Lyonnais. A small stele by the side of the road commemorates the sacrifice of the American pilots who crashed there in 1944. At the end of the route, before heading back up towards Duerne, you can discover the astonishing remains of the Roman Aqueduct on the Brévenne.

A beautiful walk in the Monts du Lyonnais, from Saint-Romain-de-Popey to Saint-Forgeux. Beautiful views of the Turdine and Azergues valleys.

A lovely route through fields, cherry orchards and forests, offering beautiful views of Saint-Romain-de-Popey, the village of Bully and its vineyards, Pontcharra-sur-Turdine and, in the distance, Mont Verdun in the Monts d'Or massif.

Ce circuit parcours la campagne de Saint-Julien-d'Oddes au milieu d'une végétation luxuriante. La Rivière l'Aix nous accompagne jusqu'à la centrale hydroélectrique de Chizonnet.

A short trip to the Monts du Lyonnais from Savigny, above Sain-Bel. A very beautiful walk through orchards with magnificent views of the Turdine, Azergues, Saône and Brévenne valleys and the surrounding mountains.

This is a large loop offering several views of the Lyon area and, on a clear day, even Mont Blanc and the Alps. You will also discover the Beaujolais des Pierres Dorées (Oingt, Le Bois d'Oingt, Moirée, etc.) and part of the Tarare Mountains. No major difficulties to expect, the route passes along forest tracks, trails and a small section of tarmac (D629, very little traffic).

Beautiful route along the ridges around the village of Fontanès. Free parking in the castle grounds.

Family-friendly walk in the hills of Saint-Héand among the horses and cows.

This loop, starting from the old village of Ternand, winds its way through the vineyards of the Beaujolais region and the deep Brou forest. The circuit begins with a visit to the pretty medieval village of Ternand. The route follows small roads and easy paths and offers beautiful views of the surrounding Beaujolais mountains, from Létra to Oingt.

A circuit primarily on small paved and sunny roads.

A lovely walk with some beautiful views of the Gier valley. Our canine friends will find little shade, no paved roads, no river for water, but in season there is a tap at the Saint-Apollinaire chapel.

A lovely, easy walk through the woods above Chamelet.

From Col du chatoux (or col du Chêne), this hike goes through woods along the ridge line offering wonderful views: -over the Saône and eastern Beaujolais valleys - over Azergues Valley to the west.

A scenic walk between the mountain passes of Col du Châtoux and Col du Joncin.
