Trop cool !!

Highlight • Other

Small, fairly technical passage in the woods. Nice, I think it's part of a marked mountain bike route.

This dam lake is accessible for swimming and sailing.
At the leisure base, you can also find a beach to get in the water but also some amenities such as toilets and something to fill your water bottles.

A great course, with quite technical passages on a few portions. The path alternates between single tracks, wider paths, sometimes in the undergrowth, sometimes open.
