Hiking - Montchovet - Bourg-Argental No. 3

Above Montchovet, a beautiful view over Bourg-Argental and the Déôme valley awaits you.



Take the RD503 towards Saint-Sauveur-en-Rue, then the road to Morel on the right. Cross the bridge over the Argental and take the path to the left of the small cross.


 Continue along this path to the paved road leading to the hamlet of Montchovet. Pass through the hamlet, following the road. On leaving the hamlet, take the path on the right and follow it to the pass. There, turn left onto the MTB trail, climb up to the small road, follow it to the right to la Faurie, then return to Bourg-Argental by turning right via Morel.


(Alternative route: you can also return to Bourg-Argental via the hamlet of Argental).

⚠️ Caution, road with heavy traffic. Please be careful.



Everyone is responsible for their own safety. Hikes are therefore undertaken at your own risk. Stay on the marked trails to protect these fragile areas.

  • Check the weather forecast before you set off

  • Some routes cross busy roads: Please be careful

  • Keep dogs on a leash

  • Do not light any fires

  • Pack out all your trash

  • Admire the flowers, do not pick them.
