Circuit crossing 4 towns and their points of interest. This variant departs from Dover. It includes the Wolf of Dover circuit and the lost St. Barnard's Chapel trail. The departure can be made in Ambronay for an extended version.
The route passes through Dover, the hamlet of Brey de vent (Ambérieu-en-Bugey) and Abergement-de-Varey. It will offer you the opportunity to come across its small local heritage in the form of wash houses, crosses, fountains and ordinary ovens. Also on the way, natural sites such as the Pisse loup waterfall (swimming prohibited) and historical sites such as a glimpse of the Château des Allymes (visitable all year round) or the Tower of Dover.
In its full version, departing from Ambronay, the unmissable abbey can be visited all year round. The extended trail is 21 km long with an elevation gain of +720 m, or around 6h30.
Do not panic ! Here are all our sheltered activities.
To bring back a souvenir or something to treat yourself, stock up on local products from the Ain Plain.
