Furfande - Arvieux en VTT

Sport, Cycling sports, Mountain biking itinerary in Arvieux
21.4 km
4h 30min
Very difficult

  • An emblematic - and technical! - with its varied landscapes between alpine pastures and forests.

  • This beautiful loop, with a long ascent on forest tracks and a long, technical descent from alpine meadows to undergrowth, will delight your thighs as much as your eyes! Not far from you you'll see the Furfande alpine chalets, little jewels nestled in the mountains. You're sure to come across herds of cattle: to avoid panicking the guard dogs, it's a good idea to get as far around the herd as possible, and to stop and push your bike for the duration of the encounter!
