Soum de Thès

Go up the softly sloping uphill track on the right taking you into a beautiful beech forest. 800m after the mountain pass, take a right on a tangent track. Its slopes up gradually until it's seriously steep! The terrain gets rocky and technical so it's a real challenge to stay on your bike! At the top follow the clearly marked-out track along the ridge. When you reach kilometre 6, go into the woods on the dirt track. After this sheltered section, continue on the path with beautiful views of the valley. After Soum de Thès (IGN marker not featured on the map), start the descent into a meadow with no tracks. Focus on the only wild rose there is here. Follow it and you tackle (or not ;-)) a very steep, rocky and slippery section. The slope flattens out (watch out for ruts!) and returns to a track.
