Cross the golf course near Le Birdie hotel – or take a short detour to visit the church and enjoy beautiful views of Mont Blanc – Turn left on Route de Saint-Gingolph, continue heading straight on Route de Rovagny, and then descend through the clearing to D142 road, which will take you to the hamlet of Englannaz.

When you reach the “boulodrome” (petanque courts), turn left towards “centre ville” (town centre); take Rue Nicolas Blanc back to your starting point or ride all the way up to Faverges Castle to enjoy the museum and the panoramic views from the top of the tower.
