The path leads from the edge of the plateau, with its plunging view over Lake Geneva, to the more intimate territory of the Maravant valley (meaning "bad ravine"). The Saint-Martin de Champanges church (starting point) dates from 1720.
Starting from the church in Champanges, you'll reach the village of Larringes, then the hamlets of Féternes.

An easy walk to discover the different landscapes of the Gavot plateau.
The more curious will discover an imposing stone bowl, evidence of a prehistoric presence, and, near the Château-Vieux chapel, the lime tree planted in Sully's time, or the Gerbaz mill, which produced flour and oil until 1932.
