Hiking - Gencenas-Les Collonges - Bessey n°3
A walk along a section of the Way of St. James.
In summer, enjoy the cool air by the river.
Start in front of the fresco. Take Rue de l’Alambic (part of the Way of St. James) to the paved path. Turn left (towards La Ribaudy), go downhill, cross the road and continue straight on to 'Saut de l’agneau'. Then go straight ahead (towards Morzelas). At the crossroads, turn left (towards La Grange du Merle) until you reach the stream. Just before the bridge, turn left, take a path that climbs for 200m and continue to the Collonges bridge. After the bridge, turn left until you reach the 'Claude Berthier' trail (towards La Chaize). Take the Route de la Tronchia to the Route de Montalivet. After 150m, turn left onto the Route des Combes to the cemetery. Then turn right to return to the village.
Everyone is responsible for their own safety. Therefore, you hike at your own risk. Stay on the marked trails to protect fragile environments.
Some useful recommendations:
Check the weather forecast before you leave
Some routes cross busy roads: Be careful
Keep dogs on a leash
Do not light fires
Take your litter home with you
Admire the flowers, do not pick them.
Tick bites can cause serious illnesses. To prevent them: Wear long clothing, use insect repellent, check your body when you get back, remove ticks with a tick remover tool without applying any substance to them, and consult a doctor if a rash appears, you develop flu-like symptoms, or if you are in a high-risk group.
For emergency services, dial 18 or 112.
