7km run from Chalet Broski

This run is only 7km but it has some steep sections. To compensate, the scenery is marvelous. From Chalet Broski go down onto the lane towards St Martin de Belleville. After about 1km - just on the far side of les Varcins - take the lane steeply down to the right. At the main road turn right for about 100m before taking the track to the left. Follow this track to Villarenger, where you will find the old roman bridge to the right. Cross the bridge and follow the track to the right (north). After 100m or so keep left (up) where the track forks. Keep going for 1.5 km throught delightfull woodland until you see a sign (mountain bike route 5) to the right - take this. This much narrower path takes you down to the river, which you cross by a foot bridge (2km). On the other side there is a steep ascent until you come to a T junction. Turn left - up the hill. This takes you back on the route you descended from chalet broski.
