The Fullie and Cha chalets on a loop from École
1 km

The Fullie and Cha chalets on a loop from École

From the valley to the summit, passing through forests, pastures, ridges and alpine meadows: a varied hike off the beaten track. 1/ Take the road to the right of the town hall, cross a bridge and in the next hairpin bend, take a path leading up to the St Bernard chapel. 2/ After the oratory, continue on this ridge path, still ascending. You'll arrive at the foot of the Fullie mountain pasture, where you can reach the chalets at the top to take full advantage of the view. 3/ Return to the Col de la Fullie, opposite your arrival point in the mountain pasture, and take the path leading up to the Chalet de la Cha. 4/ From here, a track leads steeply down through the forest to the valley. Cross the main road and enter the hamlet of Epernay. 5/ After turning left at the chapel, continue straight through the village. At the "Epernay la fruitière" crossroads, turn right towards Routhennes. Ditto at the next junction (signposted "Sur les frênes"). 6/ At an intersection of forest tracks, turn left. Paths and tracks alternate on the hillside until you reach the "Les Crics" intersection, where you take the track down towards Le Villard. Quite steep and stony, it brings you to the main road, which you cross to take the path opposite. 7/ This climbs the opposite slope, taking you to the abandoned hamlet of "Le Creux du Mont" (15 mins). Head back in the direction of Ecole to start the return journey, where you'll reach some lovely pastures. The path descends gently to the bottom of the slope, rejoining the original route.

This family-friendly walk takes you on a rural excursion around the village of Ecole. It takes you through the meadows and up into the mountains, with views of the highest peaks in the Bauges.

It joins the road a little further up. 4/ Follow the road for a few hundred meters until you reach a relay antenna. From here, enjoy the view of the village and surrounding mountains. The Dent de Pleuven can be seen to the northeast. 5/ Follow the track alongside the antenna on the left, then turn right just after the building. You leave the tarmac road for a path that crosses meadows and groves. 6/ At the "Les Crics" intersection, take the track down towards Le Villard. Steep and stony, it brings you to the main road, which you cross to take the path opposite. 7/ Climb up the opposite side. A steep 15-minute climb brings you to the abandoned hamlet of "le Creux du Mont". 8/ Head back in the direction of Ecole. 9/ You reach beautiful pastures on the heights, with majestic views of the highest peaks in the Bauges. In front of you are Trélod, Arcalod, Pécloz... 10/ The path descends gently to the bottom of the slope. After crossing a bridge, continue straight ahead on the road back to the parking lot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crossing a meadow - what a technique! On your walks, you'll sometimes come across meadows. All are farmed by farmers. To preserve these sites, and out of respect for the farmers, remember to close the gates behind you to prevent animals from escaping, and stay on the paths: grass that has been flattened by trampling becomes unusable by the farmer!
