(1) From Pont St-Martin, take the path of L’Échaillon which goes up in zigzag to the plateau of La Ravoire. Follow the GR9 signs towards the East.
(2) The path overhangs the Gorges of L’Échaillon, where the Guiers Vif river runs, and passes near a belvedere. Be careful, no barriers there. Take the GR9 again and leave it after 500 meters to turn towards the North (yellow signs).
(3) Cross the prehistoric site of La Fru, to meet the Charmilles’ car park. Follow the GR9 for about 200 meters before meeting a yellow marked path on the right. Cross the plateau of La Ravoire to the junction marked with a directional pole.
(4) From there you can go back and forth to reach the splendid belvedere overhanging the hamlet of La Grotte. Go back to the junction, take again the yellow marked path towards the South. After walking along the escarpment overhanging the valley, meet again the GR9 to come back to the starting point.
If you want, you can go to contemplate the gorge, to do so, cross the roman bridge.
Be careful if you are with children.
