Opposite to the hiking trails signpost, turn right and immediately at the junction, go straight ahead. There's a lovely 2km climb through undergrowth. Look out for the Combière waterfall halfway up the slope. Once you reach Le Bapt, the landscape opens up to the Chartreuse and Epine mountains.

After another climb, look down on the bucolic Ainan valley and the Guiers gorges a little further on your left.

Pass through the hamlet of La Sauge and then follow the meadows where the cows graze. Once in the forest, look out for the Sacré-Coeur site on your left. This statue, erected by parishioners at the end of the 19th century, offers a view over the valley and the Bugey region.

The path along the edge of the forest leads back down to the church, where there is a fresco portraying Saint Martin giving his cape to a beggar.
