Description
At the foot of the Aiguilles d'Arves starts 1200d - of happiness. First in alpine pastures then in forest, this route promises to be rich in sensations. Between speed and more technical passages, this descent promises to be memorable.
This itinerary covers 1200m of negative altitude difference, from the TV relay station at the foot of the Aiguilles d'Arves to the former Opinel factory in Gevoudaz. This enduro circuit is rich and complete. At the beginning, don't hesitate to let go of the brakes. The alpine trails are ideal for picking up speed. Then you'll find more technical sections with a number of hairpins and banked bends. So don't hesitate, and come and test yourself against these 1200m of negative vertical drop!
