Planachat lookout

The highest point of the Hauteville plateau, Mont Planachat reaches an altitude of 1,234 meters. The view to the east reveals the Grand Colombier massif, now famous due to its many Tour de France stages, as well as the snow-capped peaks of the Alps.
The orientation table allows you to identify the surrounding peaks, valleys, and plateaus. In the foreground, the view overlooks the clearing of the Ferme Guichard inn, an old 17th-century Bugey farmhouse renowned for its cheese fondues and slate-cooked meats.
Mount Planachat can be reached via the Planachat road from the center of Cormaranche-en-Bugey, followed by a 250-meter trail. Hikers can take the “Belvédère de Planachat” walking route, a 7 km loop starting from the church.
