Riding safely is easy and fun!
Follow the marked trails: These trails are your best friends! They’re there to guide you and give you a safe ride. And don’t forget to follow the direction of travel, so you don’t come across any unexpected surprises.

Stay realistic and cautious: You’re a hero on two wheels, but even heroes have their limits. Keep your speed under control to avoid mishaps.

Politeness and caution: When overtaking or passing other riders, remember that pedestrians are king. A smile and a kind word can make all the difference!

Check your machine: Before you set off, make sure your ATV is in top condition. And don’t forget to take along a repair kit, just in case.

If you’re going solo: Tell your friends and family about your itinerary. Better safe than sorry, right?

Helmets, your best friend: Wearing a helmet is like putting on a superhero cape. You’re ready for anything!

Respect private property: Paths sometimes cross private or cultivated land. Respect them as if they were your own backyard.

Watch out for farm and forestry machinery: They’re big, they’re strong, and they’ve got the right of way. Stay alert!

Close the gates behind you: It’s a simple gesture that can save a lot of trouble.

Leave nature as it is: Don’t pick flowers, fruit or mushrooms. They’re more beautiful in nature!

Respect wild animals: Don’t disturb them. They appreciate peace and quiet as much as you do.

Waste, zero trace: Keep your waste with you and be discreet. Nature will thank you!

Have fun on the trails and enjoy every moment in nature!

Guidebook with maps/step-by-step

Marking is the same as for the hike.

From La Faucille, head for Mijoux on the GR9 (red and white), descending via the ski slope.

Once in Mijoux, stay on the GR9 via rue Royale, the route passes to the left of the church and then climbs to the right of the road, continuing on this path until you reach the entrance to the village of Lajoux.

From here, turn right onto the “content” path which runs alongside the “des Forêts Monts” road. Stay on this road until it intersects with the “Chatelaine” path on the right, which leads to the end of the combe.

Turn right under the undergrowth until you reach the GR path.

Take the same path back to Mijoux and then La Faucille.
