The 'TransVerdon' mountain bike route begins at the Col d'Allos, where the Verdon River originates. This first section connects Val d'Allos to Le Village via a superb descent through the woods, after crossing the Baisse de Prenier pass.
Description
The 'TransVerdon' Great Mountain Bike Crossing logically begins on the watershed between the Verdon and Ubaye valleys. The Verdon River originates here, in the vast Sestrière cirque, and flows for 175 km to the Durance River.
The route begins at the Col d'Allos, crosses the Baisse de Prenier, and descends via a magnificent trail to Val d'Allos – Le Village. No less than 6 kilometers of descent through larch forest await you: easy switchbacks and tighter ones, wide meadows – all the best of mountain biking is concentrated here.
Don't forget that this route is also a hiking trail and that you share this path with other users.
