[Trek] Saint Cyrice by mountain bike
From Orpierre, take the D 30 toward Laborel, then turn right at the junction toward Villebois.
Turn right toward the hamlet of La Montagne. After 250 m, turn right onto the paved road leading to the hamlet of Les Faysses.
At Les Faysses, leave the road and take a trail on the right.
Cross the hamlet of La Montagne, then, 300 m further on, take the trail to the left.
Turn left onto the main trail. Pass mountain bike route #5 on your right.
After the gate, leave the trail and take the path to the right (barely visible in the grass) to go around the Crête de la Plane from the north. The trail descends straight ahead at first, then branches left with a short series of ascents.
At the intersection, take the trail on the left and follow it up to the Col Saint-Vincent junction (water tank).
At Col Saint-Vincent, the route joins the Chemins du Soleil (red), which it shares until Orpierre. Continue on the rocky trail opposite. The long, balcony-like traverse runs along a pretty ravine dotted with thyme and broom. You can sometimes spot chamois on the opposite slope.
The trail opens onto a forest track. Turn right toward the village of St-Cyrice. Pass through the ruins and turn left toward the Austrian black pine forest.
Turn right, then left onto the trail that joins the road.
Reach the D 130 at the hamlet of Le Moulin. Turn left toward Orpierre and return along the road to Orpierre.
