TOP 25 IGN - 3232 ET - Belley, Saint-Genix-sur-Guiers, Sud Bugey Hiking map of the Pays du Lac d'Aiguebelette (€3, available at the Tourist Office, at the Maison du Lac)
Gentle, family-friendly hike to discover the remaining ruins of the Montbel castle, which overlook the Col de la Crusille and the Lac d’Aiguebelette valley.
Between Lake Aiguebelette and Val Guiers, this cliffside hike offers beautiful panoramas steeped in history. Montbel Castle, the Banchet Pass Cross, and stone quarries make this hike the path to answers about all these structures.
One mystery still hovers over these places: Mandrin and his two pistols found beneath the base of the Banchet Pass Cross.
To uncover the truth, head to Louis Mandrin's hideout in Saint-Genix-sur-Guiers.
