A fairly long route, with some tricky sections on wet terrain. Superb panoramic views of the lake and summits
Take in the scents of the pine forest overlooking Lake Serre-Ponçon, with panoramic views of the Grand Morgon peak (2324m) and the Dormillouse summit (2505m).
Waving between scrubland and black marl, this route offers a few uneven stretches, the perfect excuse to enjoy the surrounding views from the benches strategically placed along the way.

Description

  1. Go along the tennis courts and take a right fork on a stony path that rises into the black marl. Continue on this path for 3km, which offers numerous viewpoints.
  2. After reaching the intersection with the road, turn left, then quickly left where you will find an unsealed path. Continue for over a kilometre before crossing the road again.
  3. Begin the descent on a wide track to the ruins of the old farm of le Villard. Leave the dirt track on the right, just opposite the ruins, and go into the fields alongside a stream, following the yellow markings on the trees.
Cross the Glaisolles steam before heading up a path in the black marl to return to the starting point.
