Beautiful hike, perfect for the whole family! I did this hike alone back in 2017, however we plan on doing it again with our toddler. It is a very picturesque walk, which is not too hard to do. I came across a few hikers and many dog walkers. There are not many places to eat in, but it was easy to find a picnic spot. There are: L' Auberge de la Couronne Sàrl in Lessoc; Auberge de la Couronne and Les Crêpes Gourmandes in Enney.
The trail varies from tarmac road to gravel car-width way and single paths through the meadows. The views are open for the majority of the hike. Lessoc train station is slightly outside of the village, which is the start of the hike. After passing the river and the buildings, the path starts to climb in elevation, getting to a good viewing height. A lot of the fields were fenced away, but I found it quite easy to picnic on the way. The walk was very peaceful. The main ascent and descent at the end, were partially in the forest. Even the last walk down to Enney village and the train station itself faced beautiful views!
