    Difficult route due to its distance and elevation gain, but allowing riding on different types of surfaces, with technical sections without danger. A carrying section to be expected from the Charix mill for about one hundred meters.

    From the parking lot, reach the start behind the inn before climbing a steep ascent of about one kilometer along the road. Then you will find paths and trails in the woods and open areas. This route is varied at all levels: panoramas, nice descents, flat and rideable sections, fairly long climbs and small singletracks. You can admire beautiful views of the Sylans ice caves before returning towards the Little Canada of Haut-Bugey.
