Hiking Trail: South Hillside Loop

Starting from Mieussy, this route offers a variety of landscapes—from woodlands and pastures to villages—as well as views of the Giffre Valley and Mont Blanc. Treasures of Savoyard architecture dot the trail (farmhouses, mazots, ponds...).

From the parking lot, cross the overpass, then turn right onto the RD and follow it for about 100 meters before reaching the path in front of the K&G Brewery. The route leads to the hamlets of Vivier and Messy.
1/ In the heart of Messy, take a trail that leads to the small local road to Anglay by crossing the RD; Anglay is a hamlet nestled at the foot of the immense Bartou cliff. The small road then gives way to a forest road leading to Le Châble and Le Jourdy.
2/ Continue to the right on the small paved road, and at the hairpin curve, follow the path toward Messy, passing by the mill.
3/ Cross the village of Messy and take the path toward Vivier.
4/ At “Sous Messy,” turn left toward Fromeson, and in front of the isolated farm, follow the small trail through the woods to the right until you reach Vivier.
5/ Then head to the Mieussy viaduct.
