parcours

This route between Château-d'Œx and Rossinière takes you on a journey full of character through the mountain pastures overlooking the valley. After a gentle start, the route gets tougher between the 2nd and 3rd kilometres, with steep gradients that need to be managed skilfully. Once you've reached the high point, there's a superb section through the pastures, before a descent offering some fine single-track paths towards Rossinière. A short but intense route, with superb views at every stage.

Tip : park at Rossinière station and take the train to Château-d'Oex.
