Itinerary description

Ride done on standard MTB. Not electrical. Ride through village easy and then hard up path that leads into forest. Need to push at times. Steep technical and narrow areas. In the forest a long path trending up which you can ride on most of the time. Some rocks and roots but manegeable. Then join a paved small road that winds up 10% all the way 5 km or so to cross the train line and to the peak 1780 m where the chair lift is. Nice views. Need strong lengs but can be done in 45 mins or so. From the chair lift if you have the pass you can ride up and do many trails up there. I did not so I took the path to the left which is a fun descent until the golf where you join a small paved road. Careful with cars coming up and then hit the main road down to Villars. I am sure there are more fun ways to go down straight to Villars but did not know them. There is a downhill trail from the chair lift which people took with karts and x country scooters.
