24 - Cross-country - Black - Chamois Meadow

Val-Cenis

The climb will require effort and patience, but if you take some time to recover at the top, a superb descent is in store.

Description

A beautiful climb above Val Cenis, starting out on a track and then on a mountainside in a meadow well frequented by chamois. This south-facing slope clears the snow fairly quickly in spring, making it a great meadow for these animals. The descent is a must for mountain bikers with a bit of technique. After Termignon, return along the Chemin du Petit Bonheur to Val Cenis. From the chamois-frequented meadow, admire the 180° panorama of the valley and surrounding mountains.
Start: Val Cenis Termignon
