Mountain bike track in the Parc des Grandes Fougères
This 12 km trail is very difficult and starts on a wide track and climbs steadily to the carpolepis area. From there, you will take the trail on your left to enter the rainforest under the shade of tree ferns. The trail will take you to landmark #33 where you will branch off to your right to take the extension. On this part, you will be able to observe a beautiful waterfall before returning to the big kaori trail. You will have to be careful in the big descent which can be very slippery in rainy period.
The return to the reception area is then uphill for the last 2 km.
