Ternand

Highlight • Settlement

Located in the south of Beaujolais, the commune of Ternand spreads out on both sides of the Azergues valley, encompassing the wooded slopes of Mont Chatard to the west, and a few wine-growing hills of Beaujolais to the east. The historic village includes the ruins of the 12th century castle and a church which houses frescoes from the Carolingian era.

The ruins of the castle and the keep, the church which has a remarkable porch, old residences from the 14th century and the 15th century including the so-called tailor's house, bear witness to the time when Ternand was a stronghold of the bishops and counts. from Lyon.

The route of the walkway allows you to go around the village and, due to its dominant position, offers a pretty view of the Azergues valley.

Roches Blanches orientation table

Highlight • Viewpoint

This orientation table offers a beautiful 180 degree panorama from Villefranche-sur-Saône to Tarare. You enjoy a view of the Monts du Lyonnais, the Monts de Tarare, the Monts d'Or, the Pilat, and even on the massifs of the Vercors and the Alps on a clear day.

Col de la Croix de Thel (650 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Very nice pass to do from Chamelet, Ternand, Valsonne, or from the Valsonne valley. The climb from Chamelet is terrible for Beaujolais: 4 km at 8% average. Viewpoints are present and traffic is low.
