The last part of the Valléenne, descending towards the thermal park is rather dark red!!

Short mountain bike training circuit with a section on road for the climb from Megève to the pigeon shooting range, then white paths passable by all. However, this route deserves a minimum of training (except for electric mountain bikes) for the climbs of 8 to 15% in places and some steep and stony descents.
