The day started with a big big climb from Morillion (670m) up to Les Grandes Platieres (2480m). No lifts or trains used today to gain those vertical metres! Most of the climb was rideable with the odd bit of pushing, particularly on the steep gravelly track above Flaine.
The initial plan was to use GR96 to descend to Lac de Gers but this turned out to be a wide loose rocky track so chose to descend via the Chalets des Foges. This turned out to be a wise move, with the path taking a stunning little valley with a mixed descent on rock slabs, flowing singletrack,grass fields, rocky tracks...it had it all! It is mainly fireroad from Lac de Gers, although I did pick up a nice VTT track at Roux. If i did it again I would possibly try the track from Lac de Gers to Sixt, which is again marked on the VTT map.
