Cross country route n°9 L'Ami Noir
Description
Ready for a varied endurance course between forest and alpine pastures that you can shorten by 6km and 1h15 with the Grand-Mont chairlift, open 2 to 3 times a week in summer. A beautiful climb by the Colombières to Bouchets at the foot of the Roche Parstire.
First ascent on road and track oriented North-East, from where you will admire the valley of Arêches and the pretty hamlet of Boudin. Just before the Plateau du Cuvy, you will descend on a very pleasant trail despite small thorns and roots. You will cross beautiful alpine pastures where the view is splendid, especially under the Roche Parstire to the Col du Pré. The last descent is in the forest of Bersend up to Les Cruets with a return road to Arêches.
