Combe Lambert

Explore the many hamlets that line Combe Lambert, winding your way through forests and meadows. From Montrevel, walk up alongside the church and onto the gravel path. Go past the farm buildings and turn right after the meadows onto the path. It joins a track that you need to follow uphill. Just before the forest, turn right onto the track leading to ‘La Touqueta’. Continue straight ahead until you reach the hamlet. Cross the hamlet to the left and join the Chemin de Combe Lambert. Continue uphill until ‘Vaux’. Take the steep road section on the left, which soon gives way to an undulating track. Cross between the houses to reach ‘Les Serves’, then continue straight ahead on the track. At the junction on the way down, turn right on a slight uphill portion. The path leaves the meadows and continues through the forest to reach ‘Bois du Seigneur’. Turn left, following the path downhill to ‘Les Taillis’. Continue right along the track past a pond to the Bois Vert. From here, turn left and stay on the road at the next junction. Come to a right-angle turn where there is an old tree and continue straight ahead on the track. This joins ‘La Touqueta’ further on. The return journey takes the same route. Throughout the route, follow the yellow markings and the following junctions: MONTREVEL > La Touqueta > Chemin de combe Lambert > Vaux > Bois du Seigneur > Taillis > Bois vert > La Touqueta > MONTREVEL

Combe Lambert and the ridges path

A walk through Montrevel's woods to discover a part of our dauhpinoise history. Then the landscape will open up on one of the most beautiful views of the Vals du Dauphiné. ROUTE : Take the path that climbs alongside the church to reach the woods of Montrevel. This is where the village once had its castle, so well evoked by the place known as ‘Château Désert’. Look up at the Trois Croix oratory and admire the view over the Hien valley and the wooded hills of Biol. Go through the pretty hamlet of Vaux and take the short, steep climb on your left to reach the path that leads up to the woods. From the Bois du Seigneur onwards, the landscape opens up completely. In the foreground, the medieval castle of Virieu with its round towers pierces the opposite hills. In the background, the Chartreuse mountains, the Epine range and the Mont du Chat and Bugey come into view. View of Mont Blanc on a clear day. Then descend to Doissin. On the way back to Montrevel, admire the buildings of an old tile factory as you head towards the marshes. Pass by the Notre-Dame d'Artézieux chapel before returning to the village centre and its old houses. MARKINGS AND SIGNS : Follow the yellow signs and the following signposts: La Touqueta > Chemin de Combe Lambert > Vaux > Bois du seigneur > Châtaignier de Bourrique > Radio-balise > Chardenouse > Doissin > Notre-Dame d'Artézieux > Retour MONTREVEL VARIATION : In very hot weather, we recommend a shadier option. From ‘La Touqueta’, follow the forest track towards ‘Bois vert’, then ‘Taillis’ to return to the loop at ‘Bois du Seigneur’. This will extend the walk by around 1km, with an additional climb of around 40m.
