Leaving from the centre of Châtel, this route takes you on a loop through the mountain pastures, with numerous viewpoints. This challenging route is aimed at experienced mountain bikers.

Description

After passing along the banks of the Dranse, you come to the Très les Pierres chapel dating from 1784. Here begins the main ascent to Les Boudimes.
[The Boudimes section will not be accessible in 2026, so you'll have to continue along Bords de Dranse to Pré la Joux (route 23), then catch up with route 19 via Le Betzalin].

At Le Betzalin, the loop continues towards Les Covagnes (1725 m) on a path rising through undergrowth before a rolling section towards Les Grands Plans.

From here, you can take a detour to the Col de Bassachaux viewpoint (1777m) before descending to Plaine Dranse (1640m) on a short stretch of tarmac.
The return journey is on the opposite side of Mont de Grange, downhill from Le Queyset.
