This is not Alpe d'Huez, but there you will be entitled to about thirty switchbacks on this forest track to reach the old mines of Bentaillou. Then, you can switch to the Arraing pond after a lift of about an hour (less for the fastest) but it will be well worth the effort!

Up to the mine, a very pleasant mountain bike track, after which it gets more difficult.
