Description

From the centre of Grimentz, take the road up to Moiry. In the second contour, continue straight on towards the Avoin mountain pasture and pass under the cable cars. At the place called "Chèquett", the first part of the descent starts on a singletrack, and joins a forest road going up towards the alpage of Orzival. Follow this road for 500 metres and then take the second and longer part of the descent on the right, riding between clearings and forest. Finally reach the forest road that leads to Grimentz.
