La Boyarde
Route Information
Description
This downhill mountain bike route links Bretaye to the village of Ollon. With more than 1500 meters of negative altitude difference, this itinerary is aimed at mountain bikers on steep terrain. The contrast of the landscape is striking with a departure at 1800 meters of altitude, the view on the lake of Geneva and the arrival in the heart of the vineyards of the charming village of Ollon.
This is mostly a downhill route of moderate difficulty, alternating between forest tracks and alpine meadow roads on the first section. Two fairly easy sections of flat paths (one between the Les Tailles quarry and Les Ecovets and the other between Panex and Ollon) offer an interesting diversity to the route.
Practical Information
SIGNS - Route number 572 A FEW TIPS - Look after flora and fauna and take your rubbish with you - Give way to hikers and treat them with respect - Keep to the permitted tracks and control your speed at all times - Respect private property, close gates to fields and do not ride across fields - Wear a helmet
