A very rolling route facing the Aravis and Mont-Charvin. From the Tourist Office, the Entre deux Villes road then the Cernix road takes you to the hamlet of the Cernix. From there, take the road then the Prarian track going up towards Bois de Ban (picnic area). Go through the barrier and join the crossroads of Boeuf du Cohen. Turn right on the track of the Palette until the sheepfold then stay on the track to join the cross of Varzeron. Go down on the right, the track leading to Cohennoz (pay attention to the Glaitière junction). From the village, go up the departmental road 71 to Crest-Voland.
Aller du hameau du Cernix au chef-lieu de Cohennoz, c’est humer l’odeur des talus de mousse et d’une dense forêt d’épicéas, c’est parcourir du regard des pentes impressionnantes entre gorges et parois rocheuses, c’est être bercé par la musique des torrents et du silence, c’est goûter aux fruits des bois et au calme des lieux, c’est être saisi par le charme suranné d’un village atemporel. Avec comme support le Road Book disponible dans votre Office de Tourisme, découvrez aussi les trésors cachés de ce parcours grâce aux point d'intérêts détaillés spécialement pour que rien ne vous échappe.
