Randonnée pédestre - Sentier le Toit du Malmont
This 5 km trail, leading to the top of Malmont hill, is physically demanding as it has sections with steep climbs. The going underfoot might be sometimes rough since made of dolomitic limestone. The shadowed lane moves through a pleasant community wood, forest clearings and a remarkable cedar forest.
