Sports side:
This forest course, on little frequented roads, is a rather difficult circuit although short. A short 6 km warm-up before getting down to business: ascent of the Col de la Croix Rosier with a 7% climb over 3.5 km, recovery with a 2 km descent and finally the ascent of the pass from the Montmain cross climb at 5.5% over 2.5 km.
There are still 14 km to go, mostly downhill, which allows you to recover well. For experienced cyclists, the sequence of routes 3.1 and 3.2 can constitute a challenge of approximately 68 km with a drop of 1,400 m and the passage of 6 passes.

Tourism side:
As a Sensitive Natural Area, the Massif de la Pyramide benefits from sustainable management that involves diversifying forest species, conifers and hardwoods, to adapt to climate change. A choice that combines public reception, forestry production and the environment.
The hike allows you to rub shoulders with its marked reliefs, criss-crossed by ridge lines. Natural border erected between the valleys of Azergues and the Saône, it offers panoramas on very different landscape facades from east to west.
