The ingredients for a beautiful hike : chestnut and oak forests, all punctuated by beautiful views of the Dent du Chat, Dévoluy, Mont Blanc, Chartreuse and Belledonne.
From the car park, follow the yellow signs and the following junctions:
Aux Bois > Les Trois Coches > Les Planches > Le Sibuet > Le Bouteau > Les Azimets > Aux Bois > Retour Biol-le-Haut
Head up a narrow road towards Les Bois, stopping in front of the Americans' stele and the viewpoint indicator on your left to observe the Bugey peaks, the Monts du Chat, the Epine range, the Chartreuse mountains and the Vercors peaks from left to right. On a clear day, you can even see Mont Blanc!
You then enter the Biol woods. At Les Trois Coches, head in the direction of Le Foulu to pass through small hamlets bordered by meadows and copses before returning to the forest on wide, undulating paths to Les Planches.
Return to Biol-le-Haut along the undulating forest track towards Les Trois Coches.
Alternatively, start from the Chasseurs car park, accessible from the route de Flachères (400m after the ST DIDIER DE BIZONNES village exit sign, take the track on the right - find your way by the electricity pole at the bottom).
