Pont des Nants loop via forest road - footpath
IGN cards
Description
A shady walk between the cool of the Pont de Nants and the forest of Les Plaines, for the whole family.
A perfect escape for families or anyone wanting to recharge their batteries in the heart of the forest, without any major difficulties. The route starts on a forest road in the heart of the Jorasse forest.
Halfway along, you reach Les Plaines, where picnic tables await you. It's the ideal place to enjoy lunch in the fresh air, with family or friends.
Want to extend this escapade? The Forest Trail, accessible from the Plains, adds an extra 45-minute loop to your hike. Just as accessible, this trail will allow you to discover even more of the mountain forest, with the chance to observe the local flora and fauna.
This easy-going hiking route is ideal for (re)discovering nature. This loop reaches the Pont des Nants, a peaceful spot where you can cool off in summer.
