European Bike Express-Alps

[Stephenflory]

On the front of European Bike Express brochure is a photo of a track. I think it's from the Col De
Rousset, looking from the south. Going on a tour of Alps this summer and want to do this track. Does
anyone know if the track is to the east or west of the Col?

The track is on the west of the col , and leaves the road heading south just at the southern end of
the summit tunnel. It then heads north into the Vercours and joins various local tracks generally in
a northerly direction.

I think the track was probably the original route of the col before either of the two summit
tunnels was dug.

Are you telling us you planned a route based on a photo on a brochure?
