Sports side:
This forest course, on little frequented roads, is a rather difficult circuit although short. A short 6 km warm-up before getting down to business: ascent of the Col de la Croix Rosier with a 7% climb over 3.5 km, recovery with a 2 km descent and finally the ascent of the pass from the Montmain cross climb at 5.5% over 2.5 km.
There are still 14 km to go, mostly downhill, which allows you to recover well. For experienced cyclists, the sequence of routes 3.1 and 3.2 can constitute a challenge of approximately 68 km with a drop of 1,400 m and the passage of 6 passes.

Tourism side:
As a Sensitive Natural Area, the Massif de la Pyramide benefits from sustainable management that involves diversifying forest species, conifers and hardwoods, to adapt to climate change. A choice that combines public reception, forestry production and the environment.
The hike allows you to rub shoulders with its marked reliefs, criss-crossed by ridge lines. Natural border erected between the valleys of Azergues and the Saône, it offers panoramas on very different landscape facades from east to west.

Safety information

Col de la croix Rosier by Lamure-sur-Azergues : A 7 km pass with an average of about 5%, enough to keep you busy. A bump that requires a good effort management because you will only have a small part of recovery half way. The slope will even be a little steeper towards the top. You will be able to compete with your companions on a very light road. This is very much like a cyclist's paradise.
