Le chemin de Ronde

Guidebook with maps/step-by-step

Step 1 : From the leisure center, head up towards Cunlhat and take the first road on the left. When you reach the D 225, turn left. 100 m further on, take a road that descends to the right. After 50 m, turn left and drive up to the road. Take the rising path opposite. At the top of the hill, go straight on. At the house, take the road to the left for 100 m and follow the first path to the right.

Step 2 : At the D 225, turn right, then left towards Courtesseire. Drive alongside the hamlet and take the path that follows the road (view of the Forez mountains). Climb up to the edge of a coniferous forest and take the grassy path down to the left into a field. Cross La Vironne to the right. At the bread oven, turn right into undergrowth. Reach a road and turn right. At Sous Cammas, turn left onto a secondary road ; take the opposite road up to Les Rouchoux.

Step 3 : Cross Les Rouchoux and follow the road to the left. At the “patte d’oie”, turn right and then left to pass over the Chabrol dwellings. At the end of the hamlet, the road becomes a path. Take the road opposite (view of Cunlhat). Arrive at Mas-du-Bost. Continue straight ahead. At Les Faidides, cross the road and take the path opposite. At Les Bruneilles, turn right, then continue up the main path.

Step 4 : At the intersection of 4 paths, turn left. At the next crow’s-foot, turn left and cross a small stream. 100 m further on, take the path on the left that leads back down to the road. Cross the road twice to avoid the bends, then turn left. 200 m before an intersection, fork left onto a grassy path. At the road junction, continue straight ahead to Olagnier.
