This Family hike follows the history of Miribel les Echelles. Discover the village passing by the church, Notre Dame du Chateau and the Druidic stones.
(1) Right after the church of Miribel-les-Échelles, in the direction of the village, take the way down on the right. At the junction, take left to the Alumnat (an establishment of religious instructions). Follow the small road which bypasses it on the left, then take the narrow street going up on the left. At the junction, take right, then follow the chemin de la Combette on the right. The dirt track on the left leads to the hamlet of Le Villar. At the end of the track, follow the signs to Notre-Dame du Château on your right. At the top of this hill, you have a wide view over the mountains of Chartreuse. (2) Go back by the same way to the hamlet of Le Villar. Once you have crossed it, at the roundabout, take left to Miribel-les-Échelles. Then, take the Chemin du Frou which is going up on the right along the cemetery. After the bend on the right, a steep way up leads you to the road. Cross the road, walk along a house, and keep going on a path in the forest. The path passes near the dolmen of Pierre Aiguë (3). The forest track leads you to a farm. After the last building, take the track going up on the left. At the edge of the field, take left and after 20 meters, leave the path and take the small one on the right which brings you back in the forest. Again, on your right, a path leads you to 2 rocks: the sacrificial rock and the Dolmen of Lentillière (4). The path that goes down on the left brings you to a small track, which you will follow until the Croix de Tempétat. Take the path going on the right. At the junction, just after a small way up, go down on your left on a track leading to the campsite. There, take the road on the right, then the 1st path on your left towards the Oratoire de la Séverine (5). After the oratory, keep going down on the path. Join the road and take right to quickly find the church of Miribel-les-Échelles.Marking : Departure Signs are in place in the villages near the car parks and the places open to the public.
