King's forest at Biol le Haut (short)

The ingredients for a beautiful hike : chestnut and oak forests, all punctuated by beautiful views of the Dent du Chat, Dévoluy, Mont Blanc, Chartreuse and Belledonne.

ROUTE

Head up a narrow road towards Les Bois, stopping in front of the Americans' stele and the viewpoint indicator on your left to observe the Bugey peaks, the Monts du Chat, the Epine range, the Chartreuse mountains and the Vercors peaks from left to right. On a clear day, you can even see Mont Blanc!

You then enter the Biol woods. At Les Trois Coches, head in the direction of Le Foulu to pass through small hamlets bordered by meadows and copses before returning to the forest on the hilly wide paths to Les Planches.

Return to Biol-le-Haut along the hilly forest track towards Les Trois Coches.
