The thematic trail signs along the river tell you more about the Albarine and its resurgences. This section of the route is easy to do with the family. Then the route continues past the old mill to follow the river over more uneven terrain, requiring good walking shoes (this section is not recommended for children or people with physical difficulties).

A loop to do in summer for the shade and freshness, in autumn for the beautiful colors or even in winter for the magic of the snow on the Bugey mountains.
