This final stage of the GTJ Gravel route stands out for its descents and magnificent panoramas. From Les Plans d'Hotonnes, the route crosses the Cuvillat, Valorse, and Clye passes via small, discreetly charming roads. These rolling, sometimes demanding sections reveal another, more mineral side of the

The first part of this stage is quite demanding, as you leave the valley via fairly steep slopes. After the Catray belvedere, the slope of the terrain softens and you move forward on the Retord plateau. This part offers superb views of the Alps and in particular, on a clear day, of Mont Blanc.
