Crepin Pond

Highlight • Lake

Nice slice of landscape.
Watch the tiny fences here around, that might be barely visible. From here a fast descend to Extrepieraz starts.

Beautiful cellar with free access to a window overlooking the cheese maturation. You enter through a door at the bottom of the building. Unmissable if you are at Alpe Metsan.

Ru Courtoud

Highlight • River

Place of the heart, the path along the Ru is really beautiful. Be careful: a downhill stretch must be done on foot and is not exactly easy. 15 minutes and more.

I never tire of doing it again, spectacular!
From Vollon to Saint Jacques you avoid the asphalt almost entirely, passing through splendid pine forests. Short stretch with a minimum of difficulty.
Here we take advantage of a bit of asphalt for the first part of the climb, followed by a comfortable dirt road.
Further on you begin to follow the …

Tour to do absolutely, and then redo ...
Putting your experiences together, it was planned so that the asphalt was kept to a minimum, the counterclockwise made the more difficult piece viable with patience.

Superb route, challenging with some technical points + small stretches on foot + at the end of the route next to the ru-Courtod you arrive at a very steep stretch of 100m in altitude to be descended with emtb by hand, braking with sections in which you raise the emtb.

The 13 tunnels are really cool and give the whole tour a plus. The sticking point is the short but steep ascent at the end of the Galleria route. But worth it for me. Afterwards there was a hearty polenta on Mezan as a reward (the agriturismo was still open on October 6th)
