Hiking Trail: Maravant Loop

The trail winds from the edges of the plateau—with a sweeping view of Lake Geneva—to the more secluded Maravant Valley (meaning “bad ravine”). The Church of Saint-Martin in Champanges (the starting point) dates back to 1720.

Starting from the church in Champanges, you'll reach the village of Larringes, then the hamlets of Féternes.

An easy walk to discover the different landscapes of the Gavot plateau.
The more curious will discover an imposing stone bowl, evidence of a prehistoric presence, and, near the Château-Vieux chapel, the lime tree planted in Sully's time, or the Gerbaz mill, which produced flour and oil until 1932.
