MTB route no. 4 (red) - Revermont forest and foothills

A beautiful mix of plains and mountains, dirt roads and stone paths, fields and forests. Bresse and Revermont come together in a loop, with the added bonus of two villages with character.

Long bridle paths, country lanes, large unspoilt forests on the plains and a few climbs on the Sanciat and Plantaglay mountains.
