In Pussy, you can choose how to spend time outdoors based on specific trail features. La Puceronne - B4 is a short circular hike that starts in the village. Col de l'Arc - B3 passes through forest paths and alpine pastures and runs near a wetland. There is also the KV de Pussy race route, which runs from the village to the mountain refuge chalet at Col de l'Arc. A pastoral experience on a family farm above the village and bread-making at the Four du Crey offer further glimpses of village life.

Hiking trails with different features

La Puceronne - B4 starts in the village at an altitude of 738 metres. This short circular hike is suitable for active families with children and has no major difficulties. Its highest point is at the crossing of the Torrent de Pussy. Trail conditions and seasonal access may change, so if you plan to take this route, check the latest information before setting out.

Col de l'Arc - B3 has different features: the route passes through forest paths and alpine pastures and runs near a wetland. A car park below La Gorraz near Pussy is listed as the starting point. If you prefer a circular route starting in the village, B4 offers that combination; for B3, the forest, alpine pastures and listed car park are the defining features when choosing the route.

A race to Col de l'Arc

The KV de Pussy race route runs from the village to the mountain refuge chalet at Col de l'Arc, at an altitude of 1,850 metres. Unlike the Puceronne, it is a race that starts in the village and finishes at a high-altitude destination. If you plan to take part, check the latest information on the route and participation in advance, as these details may change.

Farming and village traditions

La Chèvrerie des Combettes is located above Pussy at an altitude of 900 metres and offers a pastoral experience on a family farm. If you plan to take part in this experience, check the participation requirements in advance; arrangements may change. The farm produces artisan goat’s cheeses: Sérac, Crottin frais, Tomme, Tommette, Bellachat and Chevrotine. The pastoral experience and cheese-making offer two different perspectives on farming in Pussy: a visit to the family farm and its artisan products.

Another local tradition is bread-making at the Four du Crey, where making bread is one of the traditional customs of the village of Pussy. Alongside artisan goat’s cheese-making, this custom shows two tangible connections between village life and food: bread-making as a tradition and cheese production on a family farm. Those interested in local food culture can therefore discover both a village custom and an example of artisan production.
