Plateau Bike

The route begins on the shore of Lake Moubra. It soon leaves the lakeside and heads towards Montana, gradually gaining elevation on easy, rideable roads and tracks. After crossing the resort, the route continues along the road towards the ski lifts, then turns left onto the Route de Plumachit just before the Violettes Express gondola valley station.

The climb continues for around 2 km before joining forest tracks, with occasional openings offering wide views across the Rhône Valley and towards the surrounding peaks. The route then passes through Marolires, the gondola’s mid-station, before continuing to Arnouva along a varied combination of tracks and trails.

The return towards Crans is mostly downhill. The route first reaches Lake Chermignon, then passes close to several residential areas and traditional alpine hamlets. From here, there is a short climb before the trail reaches Lake Miriouges and enters the Moubra forest. The final kilometres follow easy, shaded tracks back to the starting point on the shore of Lake Moubra.
