Steep last bends from the pass on a very grassy track, it's for the strong. But the reward: What a 360° panorama at the top!

A vast, grassy ridge top, with spectacular views of neighboring peaks, valleys and lakes. Despite this peak's slightly lower altitude, at 2,214 meters, you'll still get a great mountain feel as you hurtle down the alpine trails and sharp turns.

The mountain top La Peyrouse is located at an altitude of 1711m. Easily accessible via MTB route 10. It is sometimes difficult to cycle on the path from the top of Beauregard. Once on the La Peyrouse, the view is magnificent. The descent that follows is spectacular. Before you know it you are back at the bottom of the mountain.

A quiet road above the main road between Monteynard and La Motte-d'Aveillans, and below La Peyrouse. There are views of Mont Aiguille in the distance as you head towards Monteynard. In the other direction you have towards Le Grand Serre.
