The starting point of this tour is the hamlet of Saint-Jean. The route is easy and makes for a good early season tour. At first it is through a forest and across a number of clearings. The second part of the ascent through gentle pastures is sheer pleasure. There is a nice view to the upper Val de Réchy.

Route description
