| Classification: | Very easy |
| Altitude: | 633 m (highest point) |
| Climbing up distance: | 400 m |
| Climbing time: | 1h20 |
| Total hiking time: | 4h |
| Starting point: | Fort L'Ecluse - Lower level (433 m) |
| Meeting point: | My place at St. Genis at 11h30 am |
| Remarks: | Historic settlement, Panoramic |
| Access: | From St. Genis-Pouilly, take D884 in direction to Bellegarde. Park to the right hand side just after passing the tunnel of Fort L'Ecluse. Driving time from my place: 20 minutes

It is convenient to emphasize some useful items: please do not forget to carry on (wear) raincoat, hat/cap and sun glasses, warm gloves, hiking boots or sport-footwear with thick and non-slipping sole, enough food and drinks for the own consumption. Spear dry clothes and after excursion confortable shoes are very convenient.
Have a lovely weekend! Cheers! Jose.
