In front of the Church and the Tourist Office, the “Urban Lighthouse” is where this Giffre Contemporary Art Trail begins.
1/ The itinerary then leads to the Chartreuse de Mélan to explore the contemporary sculptures in the grounds.
2/ Cross through the grounds and take the small road on the right that leads to the Giffre and the Art and Nature Trail. This trail runs alongside the Giffre, through the woods and up to the Lac des Vernays.
3/ You can cross over a walkway onto the left banks of the Giffre and then choose which side you’d like to walk on, to the villages of Verchaix and Morillon.
