Description: The first four kilometres of this route follow the Swiss border closely, often within a few metres, from border post 113 to border post 136. On the French side, you are overlooking the Foron valley up to the point where you cross the mountain stream, at Machilly, to return through the impressive forests of the Voirons mountains. Here, if you look out very carefully, you'll see the neolithic dolmen of La Cave-aux-Fées, which it has to be said is not as impressive as the dolmen of La Pierre-aux-Fées! But keep some pedal-power in reserve because you'll have to drop into second gear for the ascent up to Lossy, which, although not steep, is nonetheless 2 km long. Your last uphill section, at Cranves-Sales, will be shorter. Finally, take care on the last 3 kilometres, where you go along the RD907 main road after Bas-Monhoux.
