Mountain biking route 4: Les Villas Doria
1.3 km

Mountain biking route 4: Les Villas Doria

Difficult level. This route will delight downhillers. After an ascent on small roads and paths to the ruins of the Villas Doria, you'll head into the forest on a single track with some tight hairpins. Marked mountain bike circuit no. 4. Start from the parking lot behind Vertes Sensations. 50m after the bridge over the Leysse, take the path to the right, heading north (with your back to the lake). After skirting the Leysse on footpaths, you join the busy lake plain road to pass under the freeway. Caution: it's best to stop before crossing the motorway and return to the banks of the Leysse on a narrow path. Then turn right just before an old sawmill (bridge over the Leysse) to reach the flower-filled hamlet of Les Gollets. Follow the road up to the Nances church, then continue along the "Villard" road to Les Giffards. Take the wide path that climbs to the right between the houses to reach the top of the trail to the ruins of the Villas Doria (easy for VTTAe, but hard on the muscles!). The beautiful descent to the lake begins! You're soon in the forest on a single track that poses no major problems apart from a few tight hairpins. Lovers of technique will appreciate the hairpin bends and tricky sections. We pass the Nances cemetery. The route becomes a little less technical, although there are still some fine sections. When you reach a small road, turn right, then at Les Bellemins, turn left and go straight on at the bread oven, then take a passage under the freeway. This route is rated red (despite its distance), as it is best suited to technical mountain bikers. To be avoided in wet weather, as the technical sections become quite risky.

MTB route n°7 - The Sardinian Way
1.3 km

MTB route n°7 - The Sardinian Way

It's a slightly challenging route, which will be rewarded by the crossing of several passes and the discovery of the Sardinian Way, paved with large flagstones. Only expert trialists will be able to descend the entire course on their bikes. Avoid wet weather. Start from the parking lot behind Vertes Sensations. 50m after the bridge over the Leysse, take a path to the right, heading north (with your back to the lake). Follow the route of circuit no. 4 to the ruins of the Villas-Doria (steep final climb on a path). You then take the Col de l'Epine road for 2km before leaving it on your right (short descent). You then take forest tracks. You'll pass between rocks via the Pas de la Crevasse before reaching the Col de l'Epine, then forest tracks and a pretty single track to the Col du Crucifix (915m). From here, you can take the voie Sarde (on your right) to descend directly, or continue towards the Col Saint-Michel (903m) from where you can admire the lake. The link between the two passes is punctuated by a number of short steep climbs. Just before the Col St Michel, take care as there's a steep descent ahead. Caution is essential! (Only expert trialists will be able to ride their bikes downhill). At the pass, you can enjoy a long descent, first on a single track (narrow path), then on the Sardinian Way to the "Allemands" parking lot. Continue downhill to "La Grange du Trieu". Take the 2nd road on your right and continue on this short stretch of asphalt. Watch out for the gullies across the road, which may surprise you. The last part of the descent is on an uneven path alongside a stream, which is always a little slippery. Even if it's not steep, beware of carelessness! Stay focused. Return to the starting point on the greenway that runs along the east shore of the lake.

Mountain biking route 3 : Boucle de Nances (blue)

Easy level. Gentle loop for discovering the countryside. Mountain bike marked circuit n°3 variant (8 km) Loops to discover the place smoothly... From the roundabout, ride along the secondary road towards Novalaise during 200m. Take the path on the right going North (back to the lake) 50 m after the bridge on the Leysse. After riding along the Leysse on paths, you will join the busy road of la plaine du lac to go under the highway. Be aware that it is better to stop before crossing and then finding the edges of the Leysse back on a narrow path. Turn right just before an old sawmill (bridge on the Leysse) to rejoin the flowery hamlet of the Gollets. On its exit (summit of circuit N°2), on the right, an undergrowth path enables you to join the edge of the lake. If you go on (circuit n°3), climb towards the church and continue on the road till "Villard". Short descent on the right on the berm, then take an undergrowth path on the left on a rolling section that joins the crumbling of Chavaroche. From there, you will start a slighty technical descent but very pleasant undergrowth, addicts will be pleased. You arrive on a quiet and shady picnic area where you will be able to have a break (water point). The descent rolls on by going left at the cemetery. This part is a bit technical at times. Once in the plains, take the road on your right and follow the markings that will guide you for the part under the highway.
