Description
The walk starts in the lower courtyard of the fort. Leave the fort through the "Porte de Genève" gate and continue along the banks of the Rhône (right bank). The ascent to "Le Lavoux", crossing the railway line, leads to the ruins of the "Moulins de Condière": in medieval times, under the authority of the Count of Savoy, a small industry used the hydraulic power of the "nans" and "biefs". For centuries, a tramway was used to cross the Rhône at this point.
The climb up to the village of Léaz is through undergrowth. Discover the charm of this authentic village! Crossing the departmental road takes you to the heights of Léaz, offering bucolic landscapes through meadows. After "aux Marais", a pretty descent takes you to the Hauts de Longeray. A final climb up to the upper fort guarantees a panoramic view. Finally, follow the path to the lower fort, then cross the road to reach the fort parking lot.
Please note that the first part of the route is only possible when the Fort is open, otherwise go directly to Lavoux.
Opening
