Castles and Lake St-Félix

From the station, follow the signs to the start of the hike along the D1006 (300m).

From the car park, follow the yellow signs and the following signposts:
Chemin Pascal > Les Croisettes > Le Corza > Château de la Mure > St-Didier-de-la-Tour > Le Bout du Lac > Bois Chaboud > back to ST-ANDRE-LE-GAZ

From the car park, cross the D1006 and take rue Ampère. As you climb up, look out on your right for the Haut-Verel stone castle with its round towers and Dauphin roof. From above, you can see the Bugey, Monts du Chat and Chartreuse mountains.

Then head back down towards the square-roofed castle of La Mûre and then St-Didier de la Tour. Cross the D1006 again and take the road and then the path to the south of Lac St-Felix, classified as a Sensitive Natural Area. This natural glacial lake is a great place to spot the agile frog, as well as numerous birds and butterflies. The path is located in the forest and offers a beautiful view of the lake at its end. Follow the partly shaded path to Bois Chaboud and then the road back to the start.
