Lake and peat-bog of Lac des Rouges Truites

-

From the Chalet du Bugnon behind you, turn right onto the white track. This alternates between woods and meadows.
Keep going straight ahead until you come to cylindrical metal bars in the ground: this is a Canadian crossing (Vehicles can pass through, but not cattle. So the cows are well looked after!)
Before crossing it, walk back and forth along the grassy path to the left, until you come to a small shed (built after the 1999 storm, this small building was used to house a pump for spraying water on the woods to prevent them from being damaged). Take time to admire the peat bog all around you before retracing your steps and continuing left along the white path.
A little further on, as you leave the forest, you come to a large meadow at the Pont du Rquai.
Keep your eyes peeled as you walk along the barbed-wire fence on the left, where you'll find a small, unobtrusive opening into the meadow, equipped with a Canadian pass for mountain bikes.
Follow the grassy path that is still visible, then walk along the white stones.
You will then arrive at the entrance to a new meadow, which may be cordoned off by an electric wire, which you should replace if necessary.
Continue towards the small wooden bridge over the river. Continue straight ahead up the tree-lined meadow.
When you reach another path, at Voie du tram, turn left and walk along, admiring the scenery.
You'll have a bird's eye view of the entire wetland. Continue along this landscaped path, which takes you to the hamlet of Les Thévenins (The old cheese dairy on the right was founded in 1905. In 2017, the Lac-des-Rouges-Truites cooperative merged with the Saint-Pierre cooperative to create the Pays Grandvallier cooperative.
When you reach the first houses, take the small road on the left that runs between a few houses.
From La Gare, the former tram station, go down the road that crosses the valley to reach the Domaine du Bugnon.

Recommendations:
This route crosses pastures with livestock. To ensure the peace and quiet of the livestock and wildlife, please keep to the marked paths.
Use the passageways provided to cross the fences, and make sure you close the gates.
Finally, please keep your dog on a lead if you have one.
Wild flowers are beautiful, but they can be rare and protected. Don't pick them! They will delight the next hikers.
