Technical description
The route takes in roads with little traffic (at the time it was done). It also reaches three R1 or S1 mule passes on tracks in very good condition, except for the last pass, which requires a little walking alongside the bike for a few hundred metres. The ascent to Poupet is fairly steep. Watch out for the gullies on the way back down to Le Poupet.
