The Anzère Bike route starts in the resort and then descends towards St-Romain, alternating between forest paths, gravel roads, and single trails. After a playful descent, the route gently climbs back to the starting point, offering stunning viewpoints along the way.

 The mountains are a place of pleasure to be shared and respected, offering space in which to meet up and share unforgettable moments, whether by bike or on foot. For all outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy them properly, it is essential that mountains are shared in a way that respects both Nature and agriculture.
