Mont Jovet revisited (4th November)
On the way home from a weekend of DIY in Bourg Saint Maurice, Meliss gave me a car shuttle up to the Mont Jovet refuge.
This allowed me, with very little physical effort, to check out some more of the trails that I had been eyeing up on the map for a while. I decided to take the trail southwards along the Dou de Sublet and Mont de Challier, down to la Cour.
I had had high hopes for this track; it just looked good on the map and boy was it GREAT. It isn't technically difficult (other than it's narrowness), but this is essentially the flowiest Alpine trail I've ever ridden. Both the open section above the la Cour woods, and the wooded sections down to the village, are absolutely top drawer... straight into the my top 5 favourite trails ever.
From la Cour, I took the track across the field into the top of the "Irish Blood" trail which topped off a great hour or so of solid descending. I'm really looking forward to showing people these trails in June and September 2008.
