Croix de Malzieux from St Julien - Solo ascent

Highlight (Segment) • Other

Small road, very little used by cars.
Beautiful view of the Brevenne valley and the ridge which overlooks the other side (Luère, Malval,...).
View of Montrottier in focus.
Regular climb at around 5% for 3/4, before a bit of almost flatness for the last 1/4.

Montrottier

Highlight • Settlement

The village of Montrottier is perched west of the Monts du Lyonnais. This village of character offers some beautiful things to see. The portal of the former priory dating from the 15th century, its halls built under Louis XIV or its church whose stained glass windows also dated from the 15th century are classified as historical monuments.
