There are many wonderful vantage points on the way over the cliffs, but this one offers an almost uninterrupted view of the lake and enough space with several hikers to rest briefly on the rocks.

In a limestone slope east of Grésine Bay is the cave "Grotte des fées", accessible by rough stairs carved into the rock. The cave widens into six rooms with a total length of 31 meters. Don't forget your flashlight!

New Meyrieu Cross

Highlight • Monument

The new Meyrieux cross offers a great view, but the cross itself is quite ugly if compared to the old wooden cross located a little lower.

Small route error at the end of the route (did not find the path and scree) return to the parking lot on a balcony path along the lake

Very nice hike without much difficulty. The last climb is very steep but quite short.
Well shaded it is ideal in hot weather.
Many viewpoints on the lake.
