Gravel Bike Ok! A trail used as an alternative to the road to reach La Madeleine during gravel bikepacking. Very pretty and far from cars and motorcycles. The climb from the Col de Chaussy is almost comfortable. The descending section to the heights of Saint-François-Longchamp is a bit more challenging.
