Tricky passages
With its steep gradients, busy roads (D 908A and D 14), major junctions and lack of signage between Clarafond and Châtel, this stage calls for great vigilance. Pending the availability of safer facilities, we advise you to use caution and appropriate equipment.
Animals

But while it's tempting to consider having your dog run alongside your bike, this won't be possible everywhere: it will often have to be kept on a leash, and must be carried on sections of the route shared with motorized traffic.
