Description

Unique in the landscape, a mythical place for the locals, Myon-Mont is extraordinary for its scenery and the view from its summit, especially after the famous Z climb.
A mix of wide, undergrowth paths and the vast expanses of the western Revermont. A loop under the crests of the Lomont before discovering a sleeping beauty, the chapel of Montfort, solitary under the ruined walls of its castle. Brush up against the Comtois border before a short, stony descent from the Plain Champ pass to Mont Chevalet. Unexpectedly, there's a small retreat below the village of Courmangoux, from which emerges the Vauchère spring, the last karstic sign of the Revermont massif, before the Bresse trails and the return to the Grange du Pin lake.
