🌟【Stunning Hiking Near Lyon】Self-Created Route Through Hills and Vall

💡 Why recommend this route? Tired of conventional hiking trails? I crafted this "mountain-crossing" path that winds through forests, ridges, and pastures. Covering about 12km with moderate difficulty, the scenery is totally worth the sweat! Few crowds, incredible views—every photo looks like a postcard 📸 📍 Exact Location 🚗 Navigate directly to "Parking des Vignes" (€6 parking on weekends) 👉 1.5 hours from Lyon, with clear signposts at the parking lot 🚶 Route Highlights 1️⃣ Forest (Secret Forest Section): Wander through dense pine woods, where sunlight filters through leaves like a fairy tale 🌲 2️⃣ Ridge Viewpoint Section: Reach the summit to overlook the entire Rhône Valley—on clear days, you can even spot the Alps! 🏔️ 3️⃣ Pasture & Wheat Field Section: Rolling fields stretch as far as the eye can see—autumn would bring a sea of golden wheat 🌾 ⏱️ Duration: About 4-5 hours (including photo stops and rests) 📌 Tips Wear non-slip shoes! Some sections are steep. Bring plenty of water + snacks—no supply points along the way. Hiking poles (essential for downhill stretches). Windproof jacket ( —strong winds at the summit!). 💬 Honest Thoughts "The moment I reached the top, all fatigue was blown away by the wind! Never expected such wild, untouched beauty near Lyon! "Most wines are sold by the bottle, but ask the waitress for single glasses—they have daily picks! We tried red and white, and both were delicious (even for casual drinkers): 🔥 Perfect For Hikers seeking off-the-beaten-path routes Outdoor lovers who love photography City dwellers wanting to escape crowds and unwind Warning "The last 2km gets suddenly steep! But spotting the parking lot at the end feels so rewarding～" he duck breast, marinated beforehand, was tender and juicy—each bite was pure satisfaction! Plus, the side of crispy potato chunks?
