ROUTE DESCRIPTION

The start point is the Lac de la Buissonière in Les 2 Alpes.
Take the path that runs alongside the left of the lake and then ride down the narrow, winding path towards Mont-de-Lans. Turn right when you get to a wider track, leaving the mountain bike track (Tallias) on the left. 100 m further on, the path goes off down to the left. Take care as this section is very bumpy, along an old paved track. If you prefer to avoid this, you can carry on straight down on the wider track.
When in Mont de Lans at the bottom of the chair lift, cross over the footbridge. Once on the road, turn left and then cross over, down towards «Bons / Le Freney».
This takes you to «Près Forand», just below the village of Bons. Turn right to Freney. The path gradually becomes easier.
The bus stop is in front of the Auberge de Freney, where there just happens to be a terrace for enjoying a drink whilst waiting for the bus (3030) to take you back to Les 2 Alpes!
