This route was planned by komoot.
It's nice, the whole climb is done in the shade via the tram line. The grass is yellow, the ground is dry and sandy, unheard of. We met the UT4M trailers. At the ravito of St Nizier, some had already suffered a lot, already abandonments.
No luck, there was a violent storm localized for 30 minutes on the descent, just for “my mouth”. I got a bad bowl, my wrist hurts.
Above all, they hide the irregularities of the terrain. I'm not going to complain, the weather is nice, and for once I have a little thought for those who are at work 😉
The temperature is ideal. You still have to be careful on the descent, the northern parts are still very wet.
Quiet ascent by the voice of the tram a real pleasure, for the descent a multitude of paths cross and cross from the easy to the most demanding.
Beautiful hike, good weather, no mud, a rough descent on the Vouillants in Seyssinet-Pariset
Just after the tunnel going up towards Saint-Nizier-du-Moucherotte, the track told me to go to the right but I strongly advise against it, it is a very steep slope, I have already done it on foot frankly I do not recommend mountain biking. It is better to continue taking a detour and climb gradually. Then for the return, be careful because my route is only single tracks to go back down and some especially at the start of the descent are very difficult, not very pleasant.
