Col du Pavillon

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The pass of the pavilion culminates at 755 meters above sea level. The view of the western slope is quite unobstructed. I recommend a stop at the Le Pavillon hostel-hotel, which offers good food and allows you to take a break after climbing the pass.

Col de Favardy (862 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Nice pass to do from the Azergues valley via St Nizier and the Col de la Croix Nicelle: until the Croix Nicelle the percentages are around 7/8% then the final flattens out. From Ranchal or from St Vincent de Reins via St Bonnet le Troncy, the climbs are less complicated but long because the pass is quite high at 862 m. The view at the top is non-existent but the forest atmosphere can be appreciable in foggy weather which gives it a mysterious atmosphere. Many gravel or mountain bike trails converge here and the GR7 passes by.

Col de la Croix Nicelle (782 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Nice pass to do from St Bonnet le Troncy, from St Nizier d'Azergues, or in the descent from Favardy. On the bike course of the Lac des Sapins triathlon to spice it up with a little d+. From St Nizier the climb is quite long with good percentages. The points of view are not legion. The view at the pass is not too present, you have to move to have a view (especially in the direction of Favardy). The pass is seldom used, which makes it all the more enjoyable. You can take the GR7 forest path in gravel or mountain biking from the pass. The cross is located at the very beginning of the descent to St Bonnet on the left at the edge of the forest.

Lac des Sapins

Highlight • Lake

This artificial lake is a very beautiful natural site. The lake lives up to its name very well with the forests that surround it. The sandy beach or the natural swimming pool allow you to rest after a good outing! It is the starting point for multiple marked mountain bike trails. You can go around it on a compact gravel path. However, be aware of the high number of visitors, especially in summer.
