Description of the walk

At the crossroads, take the road to Froideconche, along the Breuchin River, where parking spaces are available at the side of the road.

(S/E) Continue straight on this road for about 300 metres and pass a wash house.

(1) Immediately afterwards, take the small forest path that climbs to the left and continue straight ahead until the next intersection.

(2) Turn left at the intersection onto the small path and continue climbing straight ahead for about 500 m. Then cross the plots through the woods via this small path that veers to the right and joins a forest path that descends slightly between plots numbered 22 and 23.

(3) Turn left, continue downhill and join a stony forest road.

(4) Follow it to the left and climb. Stay on this track and continue straight ahead, descending to the D18.

(5) Turn right and continue for about 100 m along the road, then cross it carefully. Pass a pond and the three houses of Le Brossy.

(6) Turn left onto the main path, cross a wood heading due north and arrive at the D311, Rue de Hauterive.

(7) Turn left and walk along the road to the D18, Rue Émile Grandjean.

(8) Follow it to the right and, at the crossroads before the Breuchin bridge, turn left towards Froideconche to return to the car park (S/E).
