Description

A loop to discover the Castle of Montbel and its beautiful panorama. As a Randocroquis®, it also offers an introduction to the sketch techniques. Leaflet on request in the tourist information centre.
The Randocroquis booklet is available from the Saint-Pierre-d’Entremont Tourist Office.
(1) From the Tourist Office, follow the Corbel signposted route (yellow sign at the corner of the Tourist Office). Continue along the road, cross the point on the Guiers vif and then straight on to the church of St Alexis in St Pierre d’Entremont Savoie. (2) Cross the bridge opposite the church and turn left onto the road (signposted Le Château). Continue along the road, passing the school on the right, a quarry further on the left, then at the last houses, at the crow’s feet, take the road on the left down to the river Guiers vif.
(3) At the Les Buis sign, leave the road and take the yellow signposted path on the left. At the footbridge, the first Randocroquis® table offers a drawing workshop. Continue up the path until you reach the main road. Cross the road (with care) and continue straight ahead. The path climbs into the forest as far as the hamlet of Le Château (this climb is not passable during the snowy season). (4) At the hamlet, take the path to the left and back that leads to the ruins of Château de Montbel (a stronghold of the Lords of Entremont built in 1306 and in ruins since the Revolution). The site offers an exceptional panoramic view of the Entremonts valley, Randocroquis® tables and a relief orientation table. Once back in the hamlet, take the road down past the oven and the basin. Then walk along the water wheel of an old beating saw. The signposting continues along the road to the hamlet of Terray. (5) After the last few houses, take the path on the left, which winds through woodland and meadows. Follow the road down to the village.

Ruines du Château de Montbel

Placé en position dominante au-dessus des gorges du Frou à 948 m d'altitude, les ruines du château occupent un promontoire étroit et allongé, d'où l'on découvre un large point de vue sur les Entremonts et les montagnes.Connu sous le nom de château de Montbel, le second fief des seigneurs d'Entremont est également baptisé château du Gouvernement. Ce château fut construit à la suite de l'abandon progressif du château d'Entremont-le-Vieux au début du XIVème siècle. Lieu stratégique, la vue y est imprenable. Il fût détruit en 1633, sur l'ordre de Richelieu et racheté en 1694 par les Chartreux qui le rebâtirent. Les conséquences de la Révolution française l'ont rendu propriété du Gouvernement. Lentement, le château, laissé à l'abandon, est tombé en ruines. Découvrez à pied ce site ainsi que le martinet de Noirfont, la carrière des Buis, les gorges, l'habitat de Chartreuse, le hameau du Château avec son ancienne scierie et sa roue à aguets... Au départ de St Pierre d'Entremont, il faut compter 3 h de marche.
