Starting from Saint-Amour (39), the GR® 9 links the Jura massif to the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. It crosses the east of the Ain département from north to south over around 100 km, between ridges, plateaux and valleys.
The GR® 9 enters the Ain département via Mijoux, before following the spectacular ridges of the Monts-Jura, passing the Crêt de la Neige, the highest point in the massif. It then descends towards Bellegarde-sur-Valserine, crossing the Retord plateau and crossing the Grand Colombier. The trail continues as far as Culoz and the Rhône valley, before leaving the Ain and heading south into Savoie.
The route runs through the heart of the Haut-Jura Regional Nature Park, and part of the Haute Chaîne du Jura National Nature Reserve: a protected, unspoilt area to be explored with respect.
