Description

Designed on the side of a mountain on a 4x4 road, its unevenness and its point of views will make your experience go up a notch.

From Madzé, join the Route du Jorat which climbs up to the Gite d'alpage de La Chaux, then continue flat in the direction of Les Bochasses as far as the village of Champoussin. Above the Auberge Chez Gaby 1670, the path climbs gently up to Vaillime above Les Crosets. Then begins the steeper ascent to the Col des Portes du Soleil, the highest point (1950m) on your itinerary. Enjoy the view before descending to the Buvette de Tovassière and Morgins.

And if the need arises, several recharging stations are available all along the circuit in order to recharge the batteries of your bikes and enjoy a gourmet break!
