Description: This itinerary in the region of the Mayens de Conthey features a rather demanding ascent and relatively easy descent, and consists mainly of forest roads and some singletrack sections. The route is fairly short but leads through a wonderfully varied landscape, between vineyards and forest.
Directions: Choose your starting point depending on fitness level and how far you would like to ride: for the full tour, begin in Erde, otherwise start and finish in Aven for a shorter ride, omitting the lowest section. Follow the mountain road that climbs up to the hamlet of Code before descending along forest roads and some singletracks sections. This route is also suitable for electric bikes; the descents, partly off the beaten track, do not present special difficulties.
