생제네스트 말리포 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

avoid the black track area under the dam (diversion loop)

Located at an altitude of 1,246 meters, this place offers a wide panorama. At the top of the pyramid sits a Virgin. This construction is a Napoleonic monument. The last restoration dates from 1989 at the initiative of the “Napoleonian International Friendships” association. A panel recalls the history of the monument at the foot of it.

The Gimel peat bog is located at an altitude of 1,200 meters. It is one of the sources of the Dunerette. The marsh forms a bulge and contains a mosaic of plant groups. It has the particularity of having never been exploited for its peat.

Crêt de Chaussître is located at the southern end of Pilat. It offers a beautiful panorama of the Monts du Velay, Mont Mezenc, the Yssingeaux juices and the high plateaus of Forez.

Do not miss the waterfall at the foot of the dam to take a cool break

Nice example of a dam where you can walk under the structure that overlooks you. Impressive.

By mountain bike, the northern accesses are difficult, large stones, very technical. Access by chemin du Teil easier but steep and partly paved. My favorite access is through the east in the woods from Prélager (before arriving at the picnic area, take the small grassy path on the left which descends slightly)

Nice uphill too, not too steep and view of the Cotatay valley.
