Randonnée Fourme de MontrBrison - Montbrison 2026

The Randonnée de la Fourme begins in Montbrison, located in France’s Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, on the Saturday of the Fourme festival weekend. This is a walking event, organized by the Randonneurs Montbrisonnais, connecting a day on the trails with the local cheese that lends the event its name: Fourme de Montbrison. The route departs Montbrison for the Forez hills, featuring paths through green countryside and vistas over the valley and adjacent villages. The culinary aspect is as significant as the walk itself: at the day's conclusion, participants can sample Fourme de Montbrison from local producers, typically accompanied by regional wine and fresh bread. The event has a long history, with many editions held, and it accommodates experienced hikers as well as those primarily attracted by the festival and the opportunity to sample the region’s products at their origin.
