Serrières-sur-Ain walks
De Serrières à Poncin, l'entrée des Gorges de l'Ain
Un parcours un peu difficile en raison de sa longueur, sinon les chemins et sentiers sont très praticables, pas de difficulté technique. De beaux points de vue sur l'Ain du haut des falaises dans la première partie.
Hautecourt Cave Loop
Short loop passing through the Hautecourt Cave Nature Reserve. Hike with no technical difficulty, alternating between woodland and open spaces. The climb up to the Mont Rosset plateau is a little steep, watch out for cows, but you'll be rewarded at the end. Please note that the cave itself is not open to visitors, even though it was France's first underground nature reserve in 1980. Don't be disappointed, though, as there are a dozen information panels on the surface explaining the cave's biodiversity and its exploration in the past. For those interested, there is a 3D tour on the LPO Aura website.
Overhangs of the Ain Gorges: Bolozon - Balvay - Solomiat - Napt
This is a circular route from Bolozon, passing through pretty villages (Balvay, Solomiat and Napt) and overlooking the Gorges de l'Ain.
This is a "classic" route (often suggested in the opposite direction) that does not present any major difficulties.
Circular Mont Balvay via Solomiat, Vers and Napt
A variation on the classic Mont Balvay hike, with a detour via Vers. This route offers a different perspective with a route across the plateau from Vers. The climb up to Vers through the woods is pleasant, well marked and picturesque. The descent to Napt is also very enjoyable.
Grand Corent - Chevanel
Third stage of the Way of St James. A pleasant stage with some elevation gain, shaded sections and stretches on tarmac and dirt tracks.
The Jarbonnet Rocks
After an initial wooded section, you will be rewarded with a beautiful view of the Ain river valley from the top of the Jarbonnet rocks. The river winds its way through the valley below. The summit is not very popular and is mainly known to climbers who enjoy the routes offered by the cliff.
Napt - The Félicien Trail
A lovely educational trail for families with two viewpoints overlooking the Ain valley.
An overview of the Revermont
A long hike that takes you around the Revermont region, passing through various small villages, scenic viewpoints and the Abbey of Sélignac. Two crossings of the Suran river over large stones.
Some paths are overgrown; see reviews
Tour of the Cerdon heights
The aim of the route is to complete a beautiful loop overlooking the Cerdon: after crossing the vineyards overlooking the valley, the route continues on the plateaus of Saint-Alban and Labalme, returning to the starting point via the Combe Cugnat and a slight detour via Mont Carmier.
Along the vineyards of Cerdon
This circular route allows you to explore the heights of the village of Cerdon along the vineyards, with a magnificent view of the valley from the ruins of Saint-Alban Church.
Around Cerdon
An hour from Lyon, this varied hike has its charm.With a succession of ascents and descents and a somewhat technical section on the ridge, you won't get bored.- IBP: 81In summer, the route is often shaded. In autumn, the colours of the trees and especially the vineyards will make your eyes sparkle and your cameras click away.This hike is not recommended for children.
Tour of the Drom Valley
I suggest you take a circular route in the Drom valley area, which is unusual in that it has no surface watercourses. After passing through the villages of Ramasse and Drom, the route climbs to a few hills, notably around the Chapelle de Notre-Dame des Conches, offering some lovely views.
The reculée and the Roche de Châtillon
A magnificent hike with panoramic views of the Ain and the Jura plateaus, caves and waterfalls.
From Corveissiat to the Chartreuse de Sélignac in a circular route
Starting from Corveissiat, a circular route takes you to the Chartreuse de Sélignac, passing by some beautiful viewpoints along the way.
Petit tour de Granges à Heyriat
Je vous propose un petit parcours permettant de rejoindre Heyriat à partir de Granges situé pas très loin des bords de l'Ain.
From Granges to Heyriat, Pisse-Vache waterfall and Bonbois
An alternative route from Granges to Heyriat, descending to Bonbois. This path is in better condition than the descent near the chapel. This route takes a short detour to the Pisse-Vache waterfall, which is featured in guidebooks. It is interesting during rainy periods but only a trickle of water when the previous weeks have been dry. Return via the village of Bonbois and along the River Ain.
Viewpoint over the Ain plain at the Pisse Vache Waterfall from Granges
This easy route takes you to the small Grottes de l'Ours, before heading to its impressive viewpoint over the Ain plain, perched on the edge of a cliff 400 m above the River Ain. The route then continues through stunning forests and villages to the Pisse Vache Waterfall, which you can admire from upstream, downstream, from the front and from behind. The return to Granges follows the banks of the Ain.
Château de Sappel and Montagne de l'Avocat as seen from Vieu-d'Izenave
Circular route on the heights of Vieu-d'Izenave (and Corlier), mostly through woodland. Beautiful stretches running alongside or overlooking three streams. Passing Château du Sappel, Montagne de l'Avocat and the Corlier wind farm.
Short flight around the Chartreuse de Sélignac
A short walk around the Chartreuse de Sélignac, with some lovely views.
Around Oignin
The route follows the course of the Oignin river on the edge of the Gorges de l'Enfer, then goes around the Lac de l'Oignin, all with some pretty nice scenery!
Chevanel - Vaux-en-Bugey
Fourth stage of the Way of St James. A stage through varied, rolling countryside of vineyards, meadows and woods, starting from Neuville-sur-Ain and passing through pretty villages and small towns, ending with a stunning view of Allymes Castle and the Ambérieu plain.
Walk around Sonthonnax-la-Montagne
Between the valleys of the Ain and the Oignin, I invite you to walk in the footsteps of the Resistance fighters on an easy route, taking you first to the Chougeat plateau and then to that of Sonthonnax-la-Montagne.
