10 km circuit starting from Mourex, with a nice descent to the D.984c, which you cross (be careful!) before climbing to Vesancy. After a few hundred metres on tarmac, follow the Vie de l'Etraz to the outskirts of Péroset, from where you reach the Gex campsite. Pass along the railroad line, a short stretch of road before turning left onto a flat track and then a long climb to Mourex.

After the bend in the road, go straight up the hill (Chemin de Bottenay - towards Gex).Continue in the same direction along chemin Regaud, at the next intersection: turn left (opposite Les Alpes), then right into rue de l'Oudard, then left (opposite Les Alpes) into rue Georges Charpak.At the traffic lights, turn right for 100 m, then cross opposite to reach the campsite/fire brigade museum.
