The Tour of Lake Serre-Ponçon (TSP) is back with a Gravel version! On the programme: great rolling DFCI tracks, interspersed with stretches of mountain gravel and amazing panoramic views.

The most demanding ascent will be rewarded with one of the most beautiful balconies of this trip on the slopes of Mont Guillaume: the Chemin de la Baume. >>>> MATERIELS Before setting off, check the condition of your bike, keep an eye on the weather and equip yourself according to the season and the length of your trip.

Tips
Herd protection dogs : In mountain pastures, protection dogs are there to protect the herds from predators (wolves, etc.).When I hike I adapt my behavior by going around the herd and pausing for the dog to identify me.Find out more about the actions to adopt with the article "Protection dogs: a context and actions to adopt".Tell us about your meeting by answering this survey.
