Nice route of beautiful paths in the undergrowth, some singles without difficulties, some viewpoints on the heights of Vaux, Lagnieu. Attention ⚠ small single going up between Vaux en bugey / Bramafan very steep and narrow, the second part of the descent after Bramafan is technical slope and slippery rocks.

In gravel, the path along the Rhône from Loyette, then up the Ain towards Saint Maurice de Gourdans is exceptional. The highlight is the confluence! It's wild and natural. If you are lucky, you will see deer, hares, pheasants, ducks, swans, ... The best period is spring and autumn. In summer, the vegetation is too dense.
