As soon as the Rougemont cable cars open in July, enjoy the descent of the Videmanette! With a start at over 2'100m, it's a course with a negative altitude difference of 1'160m that awaits you.
The ascent to the summit is done with the 8-seater cabins of the Videmanette. Once you reach the summit, all you have to do is sit on the seat of your mountain bike and enjoy the thrill of the descent!
The route follows the ski slopes planned for the winter. The first stage descends through a gravel passage to the place called "Les Gouilles" where there are small lakes. The rest of the descent passes through narrow earthen paths, farm roads and asphalt roads towards at the end of the route.
For animal lovers, watch around you during your ride. Marmots, ibexes and eagles love to live in the rocky walls and meadows of the Videmanette.
