AI-generated illustration of the Chemin des Fours, not a photograph
A country loop around Arbusigny on the Plateau des Bornes, known locally as the Chemin des Fours: it strings together the commune's hamlets past old communal bread ovens and mission crosses, with wide views over the Saleve, the Voirons, the Bornes and the Faucigny. Part of the route follows the historic Chemin du Sel, the old salt road, on a mix of farm tracks and quiet lanes at around 830 m.
This is a point-to-point route, so plan the return: retrace your steps or check local buses.
