MTB-E circuit: Descente des Bauches

Coup de cœur
An interesting route for beginners to enjoy beautiful landscapes with ease!
From 07/07 to 23/08 daily.
From the summit of Bijolin, it's a half-day itinerary that's almost completely downhill/flat, with a gentle gradient and no technical difficulties, as the route is on tracks and tarmac sections.
