King’s forest at Biol le haut (long)

From the Biol le Haut car park and crossroads post, follow the yellow signs and the following signposts:
Aux Bois > Les Trois Coches > Le Foulu > Bois Bessay > Les Chasseurs > Le Crépon > Les Planches > Le Sibuet > Le Bouteau > Les Azimets > Aux Bois > Return to Biol-le-Haut

Follow the narrow road up towards Les Bois, stopping in front of the Americans' stele and the viewpoint indicator on your left to look out from left to right over the Bugey peaks, the Monts du Chat, the Epine range, the Chartreuse mountains and the Vercors peaks. 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 through small hamlets bordered by meadows and copses before returning to the forest on wide, undulating paths to Les Planches.

At this point, you leave the woods and take wide paths bordered by agricultural plains. After Les Azimets, the vineyard huts line the path as it gradually climbs back up into the woods before reaching your starting point.

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).
