Recommended for regular riders. You can also start from the Genêts campsite in Gex.
10 km circuit starting from Mourex, with a nice descent to the D.984c, which you cross (be careful!) before climbing to Vesancy. After a few hundred metres on tarmac, follow the Vie de l'Etraz to the outskirts of Péroset, from where you reach the Gex campsite. Pass along the railroad line, a short stretch of road before turning left onto a flat track and then a long climb to Mourex.

Divonne) for 600 m, then at 3:00 am, turn right onto a farm track (facing the Alps), which climbs slightly to reach the Route de Mourex.Enter the village of Mourex, turn right at the bend (pretty stone house), then left onto "Mont Mourex", a narrow asphalt road which ends in a carriage road.

After the bend in the road, go straight up the hill (Chemin de Bottenay - towards Gex).Continue in the same direction along chemin Regaud, at the next intersection: turn left (opposite Les Alpes), then right into rue de l'Oudard, then left (opposite Les Alpes) into rue Georges Charpak.At the traffic lights, turn right for 100 m, then cross opposite to reach the campsite/fire brigade museum.
