Pic de l'Aigle (Eagle Peak)

During this wooded and riparian walk, the rocky barrier that marks the transition from the lake region to the Grandvaux plateau gives way to the Pic de l'Aigle (Eagle Peak) and the Belvedere of the Four Lakes. From the PEAK PARKING LOT, the rocky trail ascends (yellow waymarking) to the north until it reaches the Foot of the peak across a healthy dry lawn. After climbing a steep slope (white and red waymarking) for 200 m, you will reach the PIC DE L’AIGLE. The walk continues to the northeast winding along the wooded ridge. It nears a forest road twice and leads to the Belvedere of the Three Lakes, Ilay, Great Maclu and Little Maclu. Staying on the edge of the ridge, a stony trail will lead you to the BELVEDERE OF THE FOUR LAKES (interpretive sign) surrounded by fir trees. The trail ascends to the right towards the Belvedere Parking Lot, below the Ban forest road. The path to the left - an extension of another trail - follows along the ridge marked by a set of cliffs without ever approaching it. After a quick winding descent, which can be slippery during humid weather, the trail meets the edge of the D 75 at the Côte du Maclu. Using the cycling lane to the left of the roadside (yellow waymarking), head to the LITTLE MACLU LAKE (parking lot). The path then follows along the Little Maclu and Grand Maclu lakes towards Ilay. From the Chemin des Lacs, the road to the left opens onto les Rousselets and its chapel, nestled between two trees. Follow the road to the left (white and red waymarking) and take a trail that crosses the D39 twice. The well-delineated path (former tramline) gradually ascends towards "Chemin du Château". The trail then becomes steep until it reaches the Foot of the peak. From here, you can head back to your starting point (yellow waymarking).

A trip around the four lakes

Petit Maclu and Grand Maclu, Ilay and Narlay: these are four emblematic lakes of the riparian Jura landscape often called “Little Scotland”. Families with young children should choose the trip around the three lakes, which is shorter and only includes one road crossing. From the parking lot, carefully cross the D 75 (yellow waymarking) and head to the Monts des Ifs intersection. Follow the path to the left below the road and reach the top of the LAC DU PETIT MACLU (Petit Maclu Lake). Take the good stony path along the lakes, heading past the Petit Maclu and the Grand Maclu, and after a small forest section, arrive at the edge of the Lac d’Ilay before joining up with the Chemin des lacs.  Continue on the path to your right (white and red waymarking) until you reach Lac d’Ilay. (If you would like to shorten this circuit and only take the trip around the three lakes, branch off to the right and take the Chemin des Bornes, followed by the Mont des Ifs.)From the Lac d’Ilay intersection, carefully cross the D 75 and follow a tree-lined path towards the hamlet of LA FROMAGERIE.Turn right (yellow waymarking) onto a long wooded path bordered by hedges, which heads to Le Raffour and then right to the village LE FRASNOIS.Turn left. Chemin de la Vierge heads along the back of the village and meets up with the D 75 to the right. Take the road to your left, head past the church and the town hall and take the road towards Lac de Narlay.At the Vers Narlay intersection, continue on the road to your left, and head towards the houses at the bottom of the hamlet. Follow the stony path that heads up and along the left of the lake. The path will take you up to the Monts des Ifs parking lot.
