September 5, 2023,Gd Bornand tête du danay

I got in the car as long as it was paved on the Grand Bornand side. Otherwise possibility of leaving the village, but too much tar for my taste.
Beautiful ride physically not insurmountable especially on an E-MTB, but no big odds that could deter a good muscular mountain biker.

Ascent by mountain bike to the tip of Danay impossible by mountain bike, even by VAE. Allow 20 minutes to climb on foot. And for the descent, you must also plan to set foot on the ground.
