Easy, family-friendly walk along the Ugine river. An easy hike in a rural setting, with superb views of the surrounding peaks.
The Faverges chapel and the old milk scale add a touch of heritage to this lovely walk.
Along the way, you'll discover the water mill in a basin at Les Faverges.
A lovely view of the village awaits you along the way.
0/ Departure point: Bernex church. 1/ Follow the road past the tourist office to the "bridge over the Ugine". 2/ Before the bridge, turn right and pass the old mill (on your right). Following the river, the track enters the undergrowth. 3/ Before you reach the first houses in "Les Faverges" (note the water mill in a pond), take the track which climbs to the right, towards "Bernex". The path becomes flat again as you pass over the cemetery.
4/ Join the road coming from "Saint-Paul", which you follow for a few metres until you reach a crossroads, from where you return to the starting point, heading for the church.
