Lots of trails and shaded paths in the woods. On the other hand, it is preferable not to take at the start,
the path above the Abèanches is very steep.
It’s best to start at the source of the roach.
Nice circuit with very few roads.

Very nice tour apart from the section after visiting the source where you have to push or carry your bike on very steep and slippery terrain. We would have to find another way to avoid this section. The rest of the course is suitable for all levels.

Indeed the climb above Lac Bleu is very steep unless you have an electric bike which simplifies things
