Saint-Aupre (14 km) - Starting car park: at the bus stop when arriving at the hamlet of Le Grand Vivier.
For those who prefer to shorten the walk, you can turn around at Lake Saint-Sixte and thus avoid the North-West loop going to Massieu. In this case, you will travel 7.4 km and 260 m of positive elevation gain.
