ドナンのおすすめライド

ホテルには素敵な部屋があり、食事もとても美味しいです

A venerable hotel with a tastefully decorated restaurant. We felt well looked after and had a very good meal. Unfortunately, public transport only runs on Saturdays and Sundays.

Small pass, ideal as a starting point for hikes

The route up from Biere on the Swiss side is a solid steady climb with a few 12% and 13% sections. Traffic is quite light and the road is excellent. The trees give some nice protection from the sun and wind. Crossing the col northwards takes you down to the Vallé de Joux on a pretty steep decent with great corners and some short straights. My brakes made sounds I have never heard before! I did this and Col de Mollendrux together for a great 80k / 1,500 m ride. Recommended.

The Col du Marchairuz can be approached from both sides. This route starts in Bière and takes the southbound approach. After leaving the village, you cycle past fields to the hilltop. There, a long, steady climb through the forest leads to a beautiful viewpoint with a view of the Alps. The final section up to the pass is particularly scenic. Old stone walls line your path on both sides, while the surroundings become more open and panoramic. There is a restaurant at the pass.
