Follow the yellow markings and the following crossroads:
La Loue > Verou > Le Coulou > La Bruyère > Côte de Bièvre > Les Combes > La Loue
The route also follows the GR65 (marked in red and white) from the Loue to La Bruyère.

You begin by taking a wide path along the edge of the forest. Shortly after the ‘Verou’ signpost, the plateau offers panoramic views of the Bugey, the Dent du Chat, the Epine and the Chartreuse. A succession of small roads and paths take you to the charming hamlet of La Bruyère. Follow the wash-house on your right and then climb back up to the heights of La Bruyère.

Once you reach the ‘La Bruyère’ signpost, you can make a 300-metre round trip to see some beautiful, recently restored Dauphiné adobe buildings (signposted ‘Romagnieu’).

Then head into the forest of the Côtes de Bièvre, from which you will emerge through a curious tunnel under the old railway line. The walk ends on small country roads and lanes surrounded by farmland.
