ROUTE:
After a few hundred metres to leave Pont-de-Beauvoisin, you'll soon find yourself back on small country roads and quiet lanes. After 3km, you pass the Reculfort lake, then the Combe lake 3km further on. After the Antiquaire post, the route climbs steeply (+130m). You can then take a break at the Sacré-Coeur (large stone statue). Up here, the Valdaine hills offer pretty landscapes surrounded by small woods and meadows where cows graze. The descent is via a woodland path, before returning to small country roads and dirt tracks to reach St-Jean d'Avelanne and Pont-de-Beauvoisin.
Possibility to do the mountain bike orientation course of St-Jean d'Avelanne (information board in front of the town hall).
