MTB course 23 red – Pertes de la Valserine – Espace FFC Ain Forestière

A fairly long and technical route, but with no major difficulties.
The circuit takes in part of the Voie du Tram, passing close to the Mêlée des eaux: confluence of the Valserine and Semine rivers, then back to the right bank of the Valserine.

The first part is easy, with pebbles and tarmac. Be careful after Pont des Pierres, the descent to Pont de Coz is difficult (single track with mud, steep slope, very technical section).

Tips: Passage to the Pertes de la Valserine, a remarkable natural site!
