The gorges of the Flumen

Within the large classified site of the gorges of the Flumen, this sporty hike unravels the mysteries of the Jura’s karstic geography with each fold, waterfall, torrent and belvedere. From the REPLAN, the circuit (yellow waymarking) heads down “Chemin des Moines” (The Monks’ path) to the D 436 in MONTBRILLAND. Head up the road following along the right border and head past La Roche percée for around 20 m. A stony trail descends to the right and crosses over a few screes. At Bas des Grès, continue right until you come to the Flumen and use the walkway next to its concrete penstock to cross it. > Flumen waterfalls, 15 mins out-and-back. Head up the path to your left; Head past a dam and continue until you come to the upsurges. Surrounded by high waters, head up the stony path to your right and then turn left (copse) to reach the waterfalls. On returning from the waterfall, the path heads down the left embankment to the Electricity factory. The steep trail to your left heads through Sous la Riote and up to the ridge on a tricky ascent (700 m difference in level), before exiting onto the LA ROCHE BLANCHE BELVEDERE. A grassy trail heads due south and, following along the fence, meets up with a road. Follow the road to your left for 500 m heading to the houses in La Cernaise. Between two buildings, turn left and join up with the D 25 in CHAMPIGNON DE LA CERNAISE. A forest trail which is muddy in places heads down to your left towards Les Moulins. Head 150 m down the “route des lacets de Septmoncel”, before turning left and joining up with a lesser bend called “le virage des Savants” (the Wise men’s bend). > The viewpoint from Saut du Chien and the MOULIN D’AVAL WATERFALL can be accessed in a few minutes via the road to your left. From the “Virage des Savants”, climb the bank opposite you and cut through the bends twice, heading up to the CHAPEAU DE GENDARME. > The foot of the Chapeau de Gendarme can be accessed within 10 mins there-and-back to your right by following a trail parallel to the road. When you return, a steep trail heads through the pastures and follows along the ridge before reaching SUR LES GRES. Return to your point of departure via a path that heads down to the right through a dry grassland.

Starting in Avignon-les-Saint-Claude, after a short ascent bordered by dry grasslands, take a hike in a beautiful forest atmosphere, marked by the Belvedere of Ponthoux and several viewpoints. From AVIGNON-LES-SAINT-CLAUDE, the trail ascends (yellow waymarking) to the right of the chapel via a road (serving an allotment) and then an old path that follows along the fall line (bordered by ash trees and later by boxwood and junipers). Leave the road to your right and continue in the same direction. Exit onto a new road (limestone slab outcrops, characteristic of dry grasslands); follow this road for 200 m to the left until you come to a left bend (forest environment). The forest path ascends to the right into a clearing, which alternates between mud and stone, until it comes to a flat area. The trail branches off to the right, northwards, to reach the clearing of the Grande Combe. Head left on a narrower trail (old open environments followed by a beautiful high forest dominated by beech trees). The path heads west and reaches the BELVEDERE OF PONTHOUX after a few descents. The belvedere can be reached within a few minutes. Head back the way you came and continue on a narrow trail to your right, then take a pleasant stone path to reach la Bataille. Turn left and follow a path for 100 m. Take a narrower trail to your left, which often cuts into the stone. Descend via this trail. Head slightly uphill (reservoir on your left).
