Mountain biking like you've never read it before!
Riding safely is easy and fun!
Follow the marked trails: These trails are your best friends! They're there to guide you and give you a safe ride. And don't forget to follow the direction of travel, so you don't come across any unexpected surprises.
Stay realistic and cautious: You're a hero on two wheels, but even heroes have their limits. Keep your speed under control to avoid mishaps.
Politeness and caution: When overtaking or passing other riders, remember that pedestrians are king. A smile and a kind word can make all the difference!
Check your machine: Before you set off, make sure your ATV is in top condition. And don't forget to take along a repair kit, just in case.
If you're going solo: Tell your friends and family about your itinerary. Better safe than sorry, right?
Helmets, your best friend: Wearing a helmet is like putting on a superhero cape. You're ready for anything!
Respect private property: Paths sometimes cross private or cultivated land. Respect them as if they were your own backyard.
Watch out for farm and forestry machinery: They're big, they're strong, and they've got the right of way. Stay alert!
Close the gates behind you: It's a simple gesture that can save a lot of trouble.
Leave nature as it is: Don't pick flowers, fruit or mushrooms. They're more beautiful in nature!
Respect wild animals: Don't disturb them. They appreciate peace and quiet as much as you do.
Waste, zero trace: Keep your waste with you and be discreet. Nature will thank you!
Have fun on the trails and enjoy every moment in nature!
Guidebook with maps/step-by-step
Depart from the Gex campsite.
Follow the path along the railroad line towards Divonne.
At the junction with a gravel road, turn left into the housing estate and join the Pitegny road, then turn right (facing the Alps).
at the Pont de Chauvilly road, take the Chemin de Chauvilly to the left (dir. Divonne) for 600 m, then at 3:00 am, turn right onto a farm track (facing the Alps), which climbs slightly to reach the Route de Mourex.
Enter the village of Mourex, turn right at the bend (pretty stone house), then left onto "Mont Mourex", a narrow asphalt road which ends in a carriage road.
When you reach a square/parking area, take the path on the left: direction "Vesancy". The path descends slightly, then bends to the right.
Turn left to return to the Gex side. The path joins the RD 984c.
Be careful when crossing the road to reach Vesancy! Take the path immediately beside it, which leads up to and through the village. 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. Pass under the bridge to end your walk.
