The Lynx route from Crozet

To reach the starting point, park at the cable car car park in Crozet.

(S/E) Take the road to the right of the cable car and continue along Route de la Thène until you reach a path on the left that starts with a footbridge.

(1) Turn left onto the trail, which is marked with information panels about the feline. Just follow the signs in the right direction. Cross a track and continue straight ahead. The path climbs alongside the downhill mountain bike trails (watch out for bikes). You will come to a fork.

(2) The trail starts by climbing to the right, quickly gaining elevation, then branches off to the right to rejoin the Chemin Forestier de Bellevue. It runs alongside a cistern. Turn right quickly, then right again to return to the crossroads you came from.

(1) Return to the starting point by following the route in reverse (S/E).

▶ Before setting off
▶ Get informed:

Check the weather forecast, both general and local (rain, storms, fog, wind).
Find out about the route: approach walk, elevation gain, estimated duration, escape routes, etc.
(Use an IGN map, GPS, guidebook, etc.).

▶ Assess the risks:

If necessary, contact mountain professionals (guides, refuge wardens or lodge owners) for appropriate advice.

▶ Inform a friend or relative:

Tell them your destination, your planned schedule (departure/return times), the number of participants,
the vehicle(s) used and where they will be parked.

Provide everyone's phone numbers. Notify them of any changes.

▶ Be well equipped:

Do not go alone if possible.

Bring suitable equipment that is in good condition and properly adjusted.
(Examples: helmet, harness, shoes, complete first aid kit, survival blanket, headlamp, etc.).

▶ In case of emergency: dial 112 (European emergency number).

The Monts Jura Bike Park has an entrance in Crozet, with nine downhill mountain bike trails accessible from the cable car.
