This hike leads up to Colomby, with fine views of Mont Blanc and the Geneva basin. The trail follows the ridges of the Jura before descending into the forest along the Journans for a cool finish.
The Grande Marche populaire de Gex used to be a popular meeting place, attracting large numbers of walkers along a route rich in scenery.
Even today, this route can be taken as far as Colomby de Gex (1,682 m), following the ridges of the Haute Chaîne. The route passes through a changing forest, from deciduous to coniferous, before reaching the mountain pastures, then descending peacefully along the Journans to the streets of Gex.
The route takes you 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.
