"Les Berges du Brevon" Hike
Description
This riverside and woodland walk is perfect for sunny days and won't make you want to go on difficult climbs. A refreshing spot minutes from the village.
Nature and Heritage:
The source of the Brevon, (Bièvre meaning “beaver” in old French) or Dranse de Bellevaux, is near the Roc d'Enfer at an altitude of 1450m. After a few kilometres in Petetoz Forest, the Brevon reaches the hamlet of La Chèvrerie where it pools into Lac de Vallon. It runs up to Bellevaux then ends its 22km run in the Dranse de Morzine.
Route details:
Cross the covered bridge and turn left onto the path along the Brevon until the Pont des Doubines (sawmill on the right) and follow Buchille forest road for approximately 300m then turn left down a path to a sawmill. After 250m, turn left until you reach the La Cressonnière footbridge. Cross the footbridge and join the tarmac Chez Maurice road, turn left and continue (the road will turn into a path) until you reach Bossons where you should follow the road to the centre via the Courtyard.

Points of interest
Le Brevon
The river that gives its name to our valley rises at the foot of Roc d'Enfer is called le Brevon. It crosses the entire valley, through Vailly and Reyvroz, before flowing into les Dranses and the waters of the lake of Geneva.
Covered bridge
This bridge is more than 150 yo, and one of the last in the Chablais area. It stands at a crossroads and was a good place for locals wanting to stop and chat. Now restored to its original glory, it crosses the River Brevon, near the church.
