Tour of the heads at Puy-Saint-Vincent — Pays des Écrins

This superb 15 kilometer route leads to the discovery of the heads which dominate the Puy-Saint-Vincent resort. This cross-country/enduro route includes approximately 500 meters of elevation gain which allows you to benefit from a 360-degree view of the surrounding peaks including the Écrins glaciers. Note that the route is accessible from June to October and that a chairlift from the Puy-Saint-Vincent bike park makes it easy to reach.

From the center of the station, you take a path which takes the first climb of the route. This leads to the hamlet of Tournoux. This is where a magnificent section begins on the crest of the Coste l’Ase. This passage offers exceptional views before leading to the Col de la Pousterle.

A second, longer climb then begins in the direction of the summit of Château Lebrun. The route initially goes around it before approaching it. It is at the foot of this that you begin the long and quiet descent towards your starting point on the heights of Puy-Saint-Vincent.
