The hilly landscape around Chablis, with its vineyards and forests, offers a wonderful place for hikers to explore.

Start out at the viewpoint indicator at the Aire des Clos overlooking the Serein Valley to locate the different appellations. To get there, head for Tonnerre and turn left at the Sentier des Clos footpath, a small track just before the D35 road (heading for Fyé and Collan). There is parking there for cars and coaches. This viewpoint indicator is the point of departure for several hiking trails through the vines.

Circuit des Grands Crus de Chablis

New in 2011, these two simple trails are perfect for families. Clearly signposted, they both leave from the Tourist Office and take 60 or 80 minutes respectively.
There are a wide range of other trails in the Chablis area ranging from 8 - 33km.

The Grands Crus trail

8 km – IGN map 2720 East – Leaving from the Air des Clos. This relatively easy trail overlooks many of the Grand Crus and gives a quick glimpse of the Chablis landscape with its vineyards and forest paths.

3 orientation tables can be found in the Chablis wine-growing area:

• One is located at the top of the Grand Cru hill, in the aire des Clos (GPS coordinates 47.820653, 3.812778).
• Right across sits another one, on the other bank of the Serein, at the aire des Lys (47.806111, 3.773611), offering a beautiful panorama of the Climats in the Chablis Grand Cru appellation.
• The third one is in the wine-producing village of Courgis, on the road to Chitry (47.769292, 3.746371) with another stunning view of the vines.
