Tire-Gerbe forest

Enjoy the coolness of the Tire-Gerbe forest in summer, or continue on to the Gole pond.

Follow the yellow markings and the following signposts:
Tire-Gerbe > Le Grand Poste > L'Enfer > Possibility of a return trip to Etang de Gole > Bonnard > Le Gayet > Les Tournas > Return to ROCHETOIRIN

The starting point offers unobstructed views of the Vercors and Chartreuse mountains. An orientation table located between the church and the soccer stadium details the landscape. Take rue de Ravette opposite the town hall and follow the path to the hamlet of La Mitagnière. You then reach the Etang de l'Enfer before entering the Tire-Gerbe forest.

The forest path leads down to l'Enfer. At this point, you can extend the hike with a 1km round trip to discover the Etang de Gole, a sensitive natural area. Take a moment to observe the agile frog, dragonflies and great crested grebe.

The return journey to Rochetoirin takes you along a pretty path in a bucolic setting, sometimes wooded, sometimes more open, then along the Reculfort road back to the starting point. Keep your wits about you, however, as you follow the D54 for 150m shortly after l'Enfer.
