The Roche du Feu lookout point, near Mesnay, is a must for mountain bikers looking for panoramic views. Accessible via technical trails, it peaks at 543 metres, offering a breathtaking view of the Planches valley and the limestone cliffs of the Jura. The varied descents through forests and rocky paths add a touch of adrenaline. It is an ideal spot for a break before getting back on the slopes.
