Croix de Cougoule
Description
At the Col de Brois, ride up the forest road to the Cime de Bosc. At the top, you will find yourself on a plateau called Croix de Cougoule. From here you have a gigantic view of the Roya valley towards Colle de Tende with its endless peaks. Just two kilometers away as the crow flies is Italy, where the next trail Eldorado "Triora" is located. Now it's "brakes off" and into the Crinale Trail. Medium-steep to steep terrain, open, clear bends - it's a great place to build up momentum. Caution: Don't ride this trail to the end, but turn off onto the Viravourgio trail after about 1.7 kilometers. Here the descent to Breil sur Roya is a little more flowy and not quite as steep. Once you reach the bottom, you can either ride down into the village for an espresso at the Cafe de Alpins or turn left onto the tarred road and tackle the climb back up to Col de Brois. From Col de Brois there are also several options for descending to Sospel. The tour is therefore also recommended as a shuttle tour.

Background to Ride MTB
Ride MTB is dedicated to mountain biking. With the maps Ride Trail Maps and Trail Books and the print magazine Ride, it has played a formative role in alpine mountain biking for many years and has shaped it like few other organizations.
In addition to the publishing business, the company is now also active in product management and operating entire mountain bike projects. These include the tourism project Ride Travel and the development of modern and authentic mountain bike offers such as the Bahnentour in Davos Klosters, Engadin St. Moritz, Lenzerheide or Aletsch, as well as the creation of multi-day tours such as the Postauto-Tour or the Hüttentour.
Ride MTB GmbH was founded in 2001 (formerly Swiss Sports Publishing GmbH) and has been owned and managed by Thomas Giger since then.

The trail along the ridge is a built trail. Surface: rock and dirt. Consistently S2 with several S3 sections. The following high-altitude trail is S1 with several S2 sections and is slightly exposed in places. Unfortunately, in the middle section, you’ll be riding on a gravel road for a while.
