Loop for occasional or regular mountain bikers, alternating technical passages and rolling paths. Discovering the forest and the calm of the Mont Noir Forest!
From LE BUGNON, the route (MTB 68 red markings) takes the motorable path to Sous le Mont Noir.Turn right to fairly quickly reach a track penetrating into the forest. Cross this forest area alternating between narrow technical paths and wider paths to reach LA GRANGE A L'OLIVE.On the right, a continuous climb on a passable path leads to La Montée des Chevaux.The route continues uphill on the right to COMBE DAVID, then by a gentle and continuous descent to the hamlet LA NORBIERE.Take the Canadian passage to cross the pasture and continue on your right through the woods. A few steep and stony passages await you before La forêt de la Norbière.A well-deserved break can be taken at the GROTTE A PIERRE DU BOURG before returning, through various grassy and playful passages, to the Chemin de la Grotte, the Chemin Fumey and the Chemin Chiron.Short climbs and descents alternate up to the CROIX DES BESSES then a slightly technical descent leads to Les Gouilles and the forest shelter.Turn left to reach the Carrefour de la Croix by a small forest path, from which we find the forest road allowing you to return to the starting point.
Parking place in Domaine du Bugnon, at the departure.
After a start on white paths along the lake and the peat bog, the route leads you into the forest away from villages and dwellings. White paths, singles and forest roads provide regular mountain bikers with the pleasure of a varied and exotic outing for a few hours.
