A short but demanding circuit!

You get straight down to business as you leave the village, with nearly 4km of steep climbing taking you via the Croix de Fresse to the Peut-Haut shelter.

Once you’ve conquered the entire ascent, you’ll skirt around the Tête des Corbeaux towards the Col de Rochelotte along the wide forest track.

The descent will take you to the family-friendly ski resort of Larcenaire via superb forest trails. You’ll finally head back down to your starting point to complete this intense circuit!
