Les Portes de la Suisse Normande

The start is an opportunity to cross Falaise and take in the very special and surprising topography of the birthplace of William the Conqueror. You'll climb and cross Mont Myrrha, then head due west towards Noron-l?Abbaye. The rocky outcrops of the Armorican Massif make for highly technical mountain biking on this first part of the route. This is followed by a very rolling section as far as Pierrepont. As you head towards the Baize valley, you'll find a more technical and playful profile until you leave the village of Cordey. The return journey is gentle to Falaise, following the route of an old railroad line that bypasses the town.
