The dry lawns of Mont Saint-Michel

Learn about the history of the Mont Saint Michel chapel and enjoy the 360° views of the surrounding mountains from the top of the chapel.

From the parking lot next to the town hall and school, head towards the church. Take "Chemin de Bellevarde" on the left of the church, then "Chemin de la cour" on the right. Stay on the road, as cars may arrive at any moment. After about 150 m, you'll come to a crossroads. Turn left, then after 50 m, take the dirt track on your left. Continue on this dirt and gravel path for 15-20 minutes, then you'll come to a wider track, turn left. At the information sign for the "La Bognette" take-off site, go up the field and back for a breathtaking 360° view of the surrounding mountains. Back on the track, continue to the "Le Joueret" sign and turn right towards "Mont Saint Michel", slightly uphill. At the "La combe du puits" sign, turn right and follow the yellow and green markers to the right, until you reach the "Sous le Mont" sign. You're almost there, just 10 minutes to go, and a final climb to the chapel of Mont Saint Michel, and a magnificent viewpoint. Back at the "Sous le Mont" sign, go straight ahead on the slightly sloping path. At the next junction, take the path to the left of the house, but don't go all the way down to the road. At the end of the path you'll come to a semi-tarmac road, turn left and then directly right at the sign for "Sur Montmerlet". You'll arrive at the Montmerlet parking lot. Head to the right of the parking lot, and at the watering hole take the path down to the right. After a few minutes, you'll reach the road again. Stay on the right-hand side of the road for 100 m, then take the path on the right which takes you back into the woods. At the road, cross opposite onto the stony track, then take the path on the right, towards the wooden sign "direction village". When you reach the D11, turn right and follow the road for 150 m. Once again, be careful, as this is a busy road. Follow the "Chemin de Létraz" on your left, where you'll see a stone cross. Cross fields and enjoy a clear view of the mountains. At the road, turn left and follow it until you reach the church and your vehicle.
