Description

From the coolness of the gorges of the Forebay of la Chaille to the belvedere of the Maquisards on the Morez water gap, you will journey along a relatively easy and varied trail, through a mix of forest environments, geology and history.

From the village centre, the trail heads up through the village (white and red waymarking) towards the Forebay of la Chaille via the D 25. At Abbé Barthelet, continue and follow the road to the left that descends to Prémanon d’Amont. After a steep descent, a forest path will lead you to the walkway over the Forebay of la Chaille.

The waterfall can be reached within 10 mins to your right by following GR® 5, at the foot of a former mill.

The trail, that is rocky and muddy in some places, branches off to the left under the cover of forest to reach Sous le Saut and Le Bonzon.
Head down to the path to your left (yellow waymarking) until you reach PERROUD BRIDGE. Cross the recently restored bridge and head up a very steep trail. A narrow and steep trail to your left opens onto a gravel path and crosses over an intermittent stream. Head up to the right to Sur le Bief (house). The trail then turns right on a good path, crosses the D 25 and comes to Sur le Belvédère.
The BELVEDERE OF THE MAQUISARDS is 5 minutes away to your right across the D 25.
Returning to Sur le Belvédère, head opposite you up the old "route de Morez", towards Prémanon, with the Chez Jeankessis farms on your left.
Without ever changing direction, heading due south, follow a road for 150 m, and then a path for 400 m. The trail crosses another road behind the hamlet "Sur la truffe" before exiting onto the D 25 at the entrance of PREMANON.

Advice

Be careful around the gorges of Perroud bridge and on both occasions when crossing the D25. This trail uses forest paths. To respect the owners and farmers granting you passage, and for the security of livestock and wild fauna, we ask that you remain on the waymarked paths. Use the adapted passageways to get across fencing and be sure to close gateways behind you. Please keep your dog on a lead if you have one.Wild flowers are beautiful, they may be rare and protected and often wilt quickly. Do not pick them! They will delight the next hikers.In case of forest works (felling, skidding, etc.), for your safety, know when to stop and turn around.
