Hiking
Located in the south of Beaujolais, this route guides you to one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the department, the Croix de Rochefort.
The route begins in Beaujeu, the historic capital of Beaujolais. Whether before or after this hike, I invite you to go and discover the Saint-Nicolas church or the Renaissance house, or even the Hospices. These places are emblematic of this city and if you are looking for a little gift, stop at the Maison du terroir Beaujolais.
The route begins in the vineyards northwest of the village. The climb is gradual and after the Roche Fendue area, at kilometer three, you enter the forest.
Wide forest paths and beautiful single tracks follow one another to lead to the Croix de Rochefort. Located at an altitude of 888 meters, it offers a sublime panorama. An orientation table provides information on the surrounding landscapes.
The rest of the route continues between the fir trees before descending towards Malval. The Etape Cavalière inn offers an ideal stopover to reward your efforts. I recommend that you stop in this authentic setting before going down to Beaujeu.
