A nice loop mostly in the forest which bypasses several streams and curiosities. Enjoy the views over the Chartreuse and the villages of Entre-Deux- Guiers and Les Echelles.
A booklet dedicated to the heritage along this route, published by the town hall of Miribel-les-Échelles, is available at the Saint-Laurent-du-Pont tourist office.

(2) At the junction, turn left towards La Grotte du Loup. After crossing the stream, on the right by a steep way down, you can go back and forth to the Grotte du Loup. Back on the main path, keep walking in the undergrowth. You pass by the Croix des Combes, perched on its rock. After crossing the stream, go straight ahead on the main path. Cross a bridge.
(3) At the fork of La Roche qui Pleure, take the path on the right. Cross another bridge: the Pont des Combes. Stay on the path and enjoy the nice views on the Chartreuse’s peaks (Mount Beauvoir and Mount Outheran) and the countryside. Cross another stream: ruisseau du Chenevas (be careful when you cross, makeshift bridge). The route is going up through open places and in the undergrowth.
(4) At the junction turn right: beautiful views on the countryside and the peaks of Chartreuse. At the next fork, Panneau le Chaboud 520m, take the road that goes down on the left and that brings you to the hamlet Sous-le-bois. Cross the hamlet and, at the junction with the Chemin de Pierrafite, take the small path that goes up on the right.
(5) After a way up at the edge of the fields you meet the road that brings you back to the Villar’s car park.
