MTB looping route: Plateau d'Assy to Chavan
IGN cards
Description
Departing from the Plateau d'Assy, an emblematic site steeped in history and architecture, this mountain bike route takes you through shady forests and sunny hillsides to discover several of Passy Mont-Blanc's authentic hamlets.
The route begins by crossing the Plateau d'Assy towards Le Coudray, where the first climb awaits you.
Return to Bay and head for Hauteville, La Trappe and Chavan. The path gradually rises on this section.
After crossing the torrent and before Chavan, turn left to start the return journey with a steeper descent. A short, steeper climb takes you back to La Trappe, where you continue your loop to Les Julliards and then cross the Passy Mont-Blanc hills (Les Sauvages, Cran, Maffray).
A final climb awaits you back to the starting point.
