シラン湖でののおすすめグラベルライド

Nice climb, unfortunately the road from Ruffieu has (recently?) been completely covered in gravel that accumulates on the bends. Uphill it's okay, but risky on the descent. It's strange because the road doesn't seem particularly damaged under the gravel...

A 10 km climb from the small roundabout in Châtillon, it's more like 14 km from the Nantua road or the center of Bellegarde. The gradient is fairly steady, ranging from 5.5% to 7.2%, with about ten small steep sections at +8.5%. Very quiet, with very few cars. The road is generally in good condition, but nothing more. There are some beautiful views along the way.

This glacial lake, backed by limestone cliffs, is sometimes sapphire in color, sometimes emerald - Alexandre Dumas wrote in his book Impression de voyage in 1834: "This pretty little sapphire blue lake, set like a jewel, that nature would fear to lose."

The Col de Valorse is nestled between the Haut-Bugey and the Valserine Valley. This pass offers a steady climb through a wild forest landscape.

The Col de Cuvillat connects Brénod to Champdor in the heart of Haut-Bugey. Easily accessible, it winds through forests and high-altitude meadows and reaches an altitude of 1,073 meters.

The Col de Bérentin connects the Valserine Valley to the Retord Plateau, passing through the beautiful Jura forests. Its ascent is gradual and the road is little traveled.

A small resort on the Grandes Traversées du Jura trails. The resort boasts numerous mountain bike and hiking trail departure points, a biathlon stadium, and more. Ideal for exploring the Jura Mountains.

Stele paying tribute to the Resistance fighters who took to the Maquis on the Plateau de Retord during the Second World War. Several information panels on the history of the Resistance fighters near the various farms occupied at the time.
