The Samance plateau overlooks the Chinaillon valley, offering a splendid panorama stretching from the Col de la Colombière to La Tournette. Descend via the Discovery Trail, which features information boards detailing the mountain’s unique features (geology, landscape, flora and fauna, etc.)

Guidebook with maps/step-by-step
From the car park at the Chinaillon Tourist Office, follow the road towards Pont du Venay for about 500 metres. Just before the bridge, turn left and walk past the building on the right to reach the footpath. Pass by a wash house and continue until you cross the RD4. At the Venay crossroads, follow signs for Chalets Cuillery, then cross the RD4 a second time. At Chalets Cuillery, head towards Samance (orientation sign) via Vé la Baraka, Sous les Mottes, Bassins de Samance and Sur la Québlerie. From the orientation sign, return to Chinaillon via Samance.

Further information on localisation

We recommend using the free shuttle buses to the chalets Cuillery in July and August. How to get to the start: - by bus during the summer season: depart from Le Chinaillon, get off at the Chätelet stop, then take the Col de la Colombière bus and get off at the Parking des Bouts stop. You can also connect from the Le Grand-Bornand Village coach station via the Line A bus to Le Chinaillon. - by car: from Le Grand-Bornand Village, take the Route du Chinaillon and Col de la Colombière for approximately 6 km. After the Chinaillon exit, park in the car park on the left just after the third hairpin bend, or park on the Route de l’Envers du Chinaillon at the foot of the Chinaillon Tourist Office. Walk to the Tourist Office and head up the high street until you reach the Route de Samance.
