Description

A panoramic circuit taking you through forest and extensive clearings.

The route starts at the entrance to the « RECOUMERE » car park in the Puy Saint-Vincent 1800 resort near the Résidence Le Parc Aux Étoiles. It starts on the road, then straight on at the hairpin along a track above the buildings.

Turn off this track onto another track leading left towards the Escapade chairlift ("Télésiège de l'Escapade") and the start of the summer toboggan run
At the Chalet de Pré Loubet, turn right onto another track and after 200 metres, turn left which brings you to a sharp bend
Take the narrow track on the left and then turn left again towards Le Laus. After this chalet, carry straight on, continue along the upper edge of the Tournoux plateau and on towards the Col de la Pousterle along a track which runs along the foot of a rock bar. It comes out on the plateau of the Col de la Pousterle
Turn left and, after a short distance, right. The track leads away along a balcony route
Turn right off the track towards the Lac des Sagnes
As you approach the Lac des Sagnes, head left onto a track overlooking the Lac des Charbonnières and the Lac des Lauzes, which can be difficult to make out, and which comes out on the L'Argentière-la-Bessée side
Drop back downhill to the Lac des Sagnes, and then turn left towards the Col de la Pousterle. This then brings you back to the plateau and Les Tournoux
At Les Tournoux, head right onto a track which leads past some chalets and brings you back to Le Pré Loubet, and then on to your starting point

Herd protection dogs - ATV

In mountain pastures, protection dogs are there to protect the herds from predators (wolves, etc.). When mountain biking, I adapt my behavior by going around the herd, pausing and getting off the bike so the dog can identify me. Find out more about the actions to adopt with the article "Protection dogs: a context and actions to adopt". Tell us about your meeting by answering this survey.
