ニヨンでののおすすめグラベルライド

Starting from Morez, the climb is steep in parts but easier than the slog from Nyon. The scenery? Stunning all the way, especially crossing from France into Switzerland at La Cure. In March, the top (1232m) was deep in snow and freezing, so be prepared. Then it’s all downhill.. literally, through Saint-Cergue and into a twisty, brake-testing descent to Nyon, where it was warm enough for a T-shirt. One ride, two countries, skipping through seasons.

The route from Vallorbe on route 7 to Lac de Joux is not recommended; the ground is loose and very steep, making it slippery!

Beautiful scenery!

Starting point to tours in every direction... +'

This gravel trail offers a lovely view of Lake Geneva located below.

Léman, not lake Geneva. Léman is the latin name. Léman means lake, hence why I simply say Léman rather than lake. Beware of dog walkers and cars on these roads that are meant to be agricultural.

An opportunity to avoid riding near cars. It's a shame we have to slow down so often to pass the gates that stop cars.

Very nice access paths and landscape. There are two sections a bit more technical but doable by average rider like me. First section going up to Mont Mourex (road with some round rocks and a bit muddy when it rains). Second section on the way to the longest loop where the trail is a bit narrow and deep (probably due to rain water going through during winter). In any case, is doable. Just take your time and keep focus :) Definitely a ride to do more times
