Itinerary no. 2: Same as the easy "Col de Porte" route to Gervais, then on to Le Crêt and Sarcenas. Continue on the Fa and branch off towards Col de Bens and then Bens.
A ridge section takes you to the Palaquit pass that the Tour de France cyclists crossed in 2014. Then from Appanon, you'll go back up to the Porte pass. Beware, these trails are muddy after a rainy day.
The calculation of the difficulty of each course takes into account the length, the positive vertical drop, the greatest continuous positive or negative vertical drop as well as the technicality of the terrain.
