Turn-by-turn directions
This loop starting from Lake Moubra begins on the road and climbs to the center of the resort. The route passes in front of Lake Grenon and its famous CRANS MONTANA letters and continues westward to the outskirts of the resort before taking small local roads and gradually descending towards Vernasses, above the top of Icogne.
Beyond Vernasses, the road heads south and loses altitude through a succession of paths and small roads leading to Lens. The arrival in the village is from the west of Lake Louché; the route runs along the shore and crosses the typical smaloverlooks the Châtelard hill and serves as a visual axis on this section.
From Lens, the climb heads towards Chermignon via a regular connection between meadows and forest edges. The route then veers northeast, reaches Lake Miriouges and follows the forest trails of Moubra. This continuous, shady section naturally returns to the starting point on the shore of Moubra.
