5/ 1 - Leave La Féclaz and head into the vast Revard forest above the grooming machine area. - 2- Continue past the accrobranche course and the sled dog area. - 3- The trail passes the Pas du Rebolion and then the Gaillarde gîte (dog-sled farm - another possible stopover). - 4- Cross the Aix/Le Revard road to climb up to the Revard belvedere. Cross the alpine garden, and touch on the other "Revard loops". - 5- At the Crémaillère crossroads, go down the old train track and, a kilometer and a half further on, take the Pré-Farnier tunnel (115 m long) then reach the old Pré-Japert station (1,051 m). - 6- Continue downhill, passing through the Pré-Japert tunnel and then the spectacular Fontanettes viaduct (100 m long). Through the hamlet of Les Exertiers (644 m), continue down the Crémaillère, sometimes elevated, sometimes in a trench, until you cross the D 913. Reach the old Mouxy railway station. - 7- Take small roads to the left to reach the center of Mouxy, and after the town hall, turn right to cross the sports field. Cross the A41 over a bridge. At the traffic circle, turn left onto chemin des Bugnards. Via route du Sarto, then chemin du Biollay-sur-Roche and chemin de l'Hermitage, reach the entrance to Bois Vidal. - 8- Cross the park, then down boulevard de la Roche-du-Roi. Take avenue Charles-De-Gaulle to the Aix-les-Bains SNCF train station.
