A nice tour, principally through forests and crossing the Niremont's crete.

The first lap is perfect to improve your technique, but a good physical condition is needed.

The variant A is more technical, be careful by humid terrain.
Niremont - Gros Plané. From Ratvel, beautiful rise on a path direction Le Villard. From there, 4x4 paths to the Gros-Plané. Various singletrails on the way back to Bulle crossing through La Chia and La Part-Dieu.
Difficulty: S2

Catering possibility in the Goille au Cerf or in Ratvel
