From the top of Mieussy, the path up to the Grotte du Jourdy is in fact a Way of the Cross. You'll have the opportunity to discover this geological curiosity steeped in history. The cave was used as a hiding place by the village's vicars during the Terror at the end of the French Revolution, in order to escape the radical revolutionaries who supported dechristianization. In 1881, it was erected as a sanctuary, as evidenced by the plaque on its wall.

The route continues with a steep ascent aided by a handrail, before arriving at the hamlet of Roche Pallud. From this small alpine village, you can easily access a superb view of the Bornes massif, the Aravis range, Bargy and Môle. You can also wander through the beautiful pasture landscapes of the Sommand plateau, contemplating the surrounding peaks (Pointes de Rovagne, de Chalune, du Haut-Fleury).

You'll then reach the Saix waterfall, which you'll cross at the top via a footbridge and an impressive cliff face, before returning to your starting point along pleasant country lanes.
