Tips from the Community
Between the village of Soubey and the Hotel & Campsite of Tariche, there is a connecting path that can be ridden with a gravel bike or a bike with wide tires – the section is not suitable for road bikes as it runs on gravel for a longer stretch. The landscape here is beautiful: you pass a few farms and see the Doubs flowing alongside you. This idyll makes up for every drop of sweat!
