The Pont de la Flée loop - MTB route no. 57

MTB route no. 57, the Boucle du Pont de la Flée, is a varied route between forest and civilization. This circuit offers a fine balance between gradual ascent and playful descent, ideal for mountain bikers in search of nature and thrills.

The Boucle du Pont de la Flée (route no. 57) is a mountain bike circuit offering a mix of forest trails and roads near the village of Cordon and the town of Sallanches.

The gradual climb allows you to appreciate the beauty of the village of Cordon from its hillsides, before reaching the Pont de la Flée, located in the heart of the forest.

The descent from the heights of Sallanches is ideal for thrill-seekers! But watch out for the climb back up through the Bois de Fessy, which will put your thighs to the test and demand a great deal of physical effort!
