Resorts: Fontainemore

Technical Information

Route

The Guillemore ravine is located on the border between the municipalities of Issime and Fontainemore, not far from the regional road nr. 44, where an ancient mule track leads to the “Gouffre de Guillemore”, a very deep ravine carved into the rock by the Lys stream and where it plunges with a suggestive jump.
To see the ravine, you can leave your car along a widening of the regional road or in the Plana hamlet and then reach the stream through the path in the woods. The surrounding environment is a mixed forest of chestnut, lime, maple and ash broad-leaved trees.
Follow the path marked by trail sign n. 4, passing along the villages of Plana, Barmotta, Nova-Desot.
You will arrive at the characteristic village of Farettaz which still preserves numerous examples of valuable rural architecture: the frescoed church, the stone houses, the community oven and the fountains.
