Tour of Villarembert via Les Fromentières and Les Crevasses

Park near the Villarembert campsite, taking the exit towards Le Corbier.

(S/E) Continue down the road for a few dozen metres and keep to the right at the Fork in the road in front of a very new house. Opposite the house’s courtyard, turn immediately right onto the dirt track which climbs straight up the steep slope and joins the D78a. Walk down to the right for about a hundred metres.

(1) Turn left onto the grassy path that climbs diagonally into the woods, just before a waterfall. Walk uphill through the woods alongside the stream until you reach the gravel road.

(2) Turn right to head up this road, which goes round a chalet and then past an old building. Carry on straight ahead through the woods, cross the bridge over the Garney and continue uphill until you reach the start of a tarmac road amongst the houses in Les Fromentières.

(3) Turn right to head down this road. Pass the first cluster of houses and carry on to the next one, at Les Crevasses-en-Bas. Turn right at the junction and carry on to the three-way junction.

(4) Head down to the left: at this point, you are just below the chalet where the film “Anatomy of a Fall” was shot. Continue down to the village and join the D78a at the town hall. Cross via the raised footbridge to take the street opposite. Walk past the church to reach the bottom of the street.

(5) Take the grassy path on the left which runs alongside the last few houses. At the next junction, follow the path on the right. Turn left before reaching the departmental road, then cross the bridge over the Ruisseau de Garney. At the crossroads, carry on straight ahead downhill to return to the car park, near the campsite (S/E).

(S/E) Villarembert Campsite. The lake is equipped with picnic tables and permanent barbecues.
(2) The leather workshop is open to visitors, a little further down the road.
(4) Chalet, the filming location for the film “Anatomy of a Fall”.
