To make the most of it (d+/- 281 m): return to the observatory of the Château-Renard peak (2931 m, the highest point for mountain biking) and on foot to the peak itself (2989 m).
Fun descent of the Longet valley. At the bottom of the Lariane bridge, stay on the left bank to pass in front of Fontgillarde and Pierre-Grosse, and climb back up to the left along the Bois des Amoureux forest road towards St Véran.
