From the skating rink plateau, walk along the stone building of Salle Pignard. Cross the meadow to discover the entrance sign (Chemin de Renard Futé). Follow this path for 150m (tree sign). Then turn left on a good path that leads to the Jacottaz houses (wildlife sign).
Continue along the horizontal path into the forest. After 200m, the path comes to a large crossroads (tree life sign). Turn left again, following the wide path (sign for ants) and then (sign for the role of the forest).
This path leads back towards Montchavin (Panorama sign), then onto the small road. Cross this road, then follow the path down to the tennis court (bird sign) and back to the village. You can return to Les Coches via the Route de la Fontaine or the Les Coches gondola.

The Chemin de Renard Futé can be done from Montchavin. From the Place de l'Etoile in the village center, head towards the tennis courts. The "Chemin de Renard Futé" sign marks the start of the route. In this direction, the path is more uneven (+250m) and takes 1h30 to 2h with the family. The return journey can then be made on foot through Les Coches via the Route de la Fontaine.
