Go from the undergrowth to the edges of the lake and pond on this pretty loop in 8 which will allow you to adjust the length of the walk as you wish.

After a short climb to get out of the Grand Vivier, you will then gradually dive towards Saint-Sixte, skimming the Etang des Chartreux then the lake of Saint-Sixte. You will progress through refreshing undergrowth where springs like to reappear frequently. After the hamlet of Saint-Sixte, the descent continues towards Massieu before tackling a gradual ascent which will take you along another bank of the lake of Saint-Sixte and to take advantage of the paths and tracks of the Baracuchet wood.

For those who prefer to shorten the walk, you can turn around at Lake Saint-Sixte and thus avoid the North-West loop going to Massieu. In this case, you will cover 7.4km and 260m of elevation gain.
