Hard road ride. Very good fitness required. Mostly well-paved surfaces and easy to ride. The starting point of the route is accessible with public transport.

Col des Mosses

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The north ramp is rather tame with a good 500 meters in altitude, the climb from the canton of Vaud demands considerably more with almost 1,000 meters to be overcome. Both sides are very scenic, the road is excellent throughout, the maximum gradient hardly exceeds the 10% mark.

Lake Hongrin

Highlight • Lake

Lac de l'Hongrin is a reservoir. Especially on the north side you can bicycling along it. On the south side, the road leads slightly above the lake. Along the entire route you will enjoy beautiful views of the beautiful landscape, dominated by the blue waters of the sparkling lake.

There is no more gravel there, but new asphalt. There are still pieces in it with worse asphalt, but everything is paved

Lessoc Village Fountain

Highlight • Settlement

The legend of the Lessoc fountain:
Colin, this Lessocois who, returning from the Château-d'Oex fair around midnight, after caressing the various bottle, was poorly received by his wife. She insulted him, accusing him of having drunk too much and letting Cocotte, his mare, die of thirst. The drunkard got up to water the poor creature. The moon in the sky played with the clouds and the water in the pool reflected it. Cocotte drank precisely on the silver disk which disappeared never to reappear. Colin thought she had swallowed it and that his mare was lost to him. What a great misfortune!... It was to prevent any incident that a roof was placed between the star and the basin for the satisfaction of the washerwomen and the tranquility of the Colins who lead their mares to the fountain at odd hours!. ..
