    Randonnée très sympa. Nous avons démarré directement du lac et n'avons donc pas fait la partie entre Oyonnax et le lac. C'est très agréable de se pouvoir se baigner en terminant la rando.

    Très belle balade à faire en famille, à condition, toutefois, d'avoir des p'tits bouts ayant l'habitude de marcher (la dernière phase de montée est raide). Si le parcours est effectivement majoritairement ombragé, plusieurs passages ensoleillés, parfois longs, se montrent moins agréables par forte chaleur. Le parcours est très bien balisé mais diffère par moment du tracé GPX. Il ne faut pas essayer de suivre le GPS à tous prix, le balisage à lui seul suffit.
