The terrace of Ayse
IGN cards
Description
This walk is accessible to all thanks to its low altitude difference and walking time.
If you have time, stop at a winegrower's to discover the making of the AOC Ayze wine.
Between forest and vineyards you will discover the richness of the village of Ayse!
The forest of Levry offers you a soothing atmosphere of undergrowth. Then the landscape opens up and offers a breathtaking view of the hillsides of the village, the Arve valley and the Bargy Massif. You will also be able to see the Massif du Haut Giffre (le Buet) in the distance. The path on which you will be is typical of the agricultural and wine-growing construction of Ayse, known as a terrace (old stone wall). It allows to appreciate the patrimonial and landscape aspect of Ayse.
