Hike: A wolf life. by christelle

July 21, 2025 · Community

randonnée tres sympathique. jolis paysages variés. arrêt conseillée chez l'apicultrice d'arvieres juste avant la source du groin. Pour notre part les telephones indiquaient que nous avions parcouru 9km 500, donc un peu plus qu'indiqué sur le site.

Très belle balade avec de jolies surprises : le fait de longer l’Arvière qui a encore de l’eau en plein mois d’août, de beaux panoramas sur le Colombier, la fontaine avec la vierge de Claudel… Les chemins sont très diversifiés, le plus souvent ombragés, cette balade était un vrai plaisir. Cela grimpe sur certains passages au retour mais c’est tout à fait abordable. En plus nous avons eu la chance de loger presque sur le chemin de la randonnée dans une belle demeure du Valromey.
