Cross Country route n°16 Col du Coin

From the Col du Pré, a pleasant climb on a track to the Charmette passage to go back down on a path on the Saint Guérin slope. Climb back up on the road to the Cormet d'Arêches passing next to the Lac des fées. The rest is on a track above Plan Pichu, an alpine pasture where Beaufort cheese is made on site. The climb to the Col du Coin is very steep for the last few meters and you will push the bike to get over the pass. The descent towards Treicol is impressive at the beginning then easy on a path and track.
