Seyssel – Chaumont

From Seyssel, the Jerusalem Way leaves the immediate banks of the Rhône and ascends to quieter high-altitude paths. Forests, open spaces, and wide views over the river valley accompany this stage. Historically, routes deliberately led travelers above the flood-prone lowlands. Chaumont is scenically located above the landscape and forms a quiet conclusion to this transitional day.
