Description

A difficult circuit overlooking the gorges of the Durance, suitable for experienced riders.



The circuit starts right in the centre of town, not far from the bridge spanning the Durance. Head due south towards the train station.

After passing the train station on your right and going under the railway bridge, follow the D423 towards the Fournel mines ("Mines du Fournel")
At the mine car park, carry on along the narrow road leading into the little valley
At the bridge, the Pont des Albrands, take the forest track that leads uphill to the Col de la Pousterle
At the car park at the pass, follow the track running due east
After the Champ des Ans, at 1,541 m, take the path on the right: the start of a great single-track descent
When you come to the first houses in L'Argentière-la-Bessée, take the road on the left and then the road on the right to the next crossroads, which will bring you to the town centre
