About

Departing from Aussois (73500)
Average length : 00h45
Total elevation gain : 7m

Distance : 6.3km
Signed walking trail

There's no need to pedal your way up this course, which starts at the top of the Grand Jeu chairlift. After a very quiet first section, during which you'll concentrate more on admiring the superb panorama, you enter the heart of the enduro subject. The track remains blue and playful, with banked turns, terrain movements and wooden modules. A brief moment of relaxation on the road, and you end up on an easy trail.
But why the name? The answer lies on the edge of the path, with the presence of a rare and protected species of heather (Erica Carnéa) that you must avoid crushing at all costs. This little plant was avoided at the time of creation, hence its name: it's not just the bike that counts.
