Presentation

An easy walk from the village that can be done round trip. No parking at the start of the path. Parking in the village: cheese dairy. Very nice view from Cernay over the Aillons valley and the Colombier.

The route starts at the southern exit of the village on the Col des Prés road. At the sign for Mas Dessous, turn left in the direction of : "Le Cernay 1h".

Follow the summer road (long straight stretch) or climb through the fields (winter only) on a wide, gently sloping, completely open stretch for at least 20'. At the snowshoe sign, follow the direction indicated, climbing above the road, which you will catch up with a little further on, and whose first bend you will have avoided.

All you have to do then is follow the road as it winds through the fir trees. At the end of the route, the forest is sparser and you arrive on the flat at the sign for Le Cernay. You can return by the same route.

At the end of the forest, the long straight stretch through meadows will take you back to your starting point.
