This circuit, far from busy roads starting from Les Plans d'Hotonnes resort will show the quiet roads of Haut-Valromey passing the Col de la Cheminée and the Col de Belleroche at 1056 m above sea level (3464ft).
You will discover along the route many valleys of the Plateau de Retord including the Léchaud valley.
Although this typical circuit of the Plateau de Retord has two climbs and very few flat sections, its regular climbs never get steep.
