Description

With panoramic views of Mont Blanc, picturesque hamlets and forest trails, this mountain bike/e-MTB route links the Col de Voza to Saint-Gervais via a varied descent through the heart of the Val Montjoie.

Right from the start, enjoy breathtaking views of Mont Blanc before reaching the charming hamlet of Bionnassay, renowned for its traditional character and unspoilt surroundings.

The route continues along a pleasant, shaded 4x4 track towards Le Champel, in the heart of the forest. In this peaceful hamlet, admire superb views of Mont Joly and Saint-Nicolas de Véroce.

The final stretch follows the Val Montjoie path, a pleasant, more natural section that gradually leads back to the centre of Saint-Gervais.
