Pigeon Rollercoaster
Description
From Cevins, you initially roll a good distance up the valley towards Moutiers. At the village of Petit Coeur, take the mountain road up to Molençon and a little later branch off into the Glaize valley. After Fougère, the ascent continues unabated until you reach the trail entrance after a total of around 1400 meters in altitude. Now comes the reward for the long climb!
The first part of the descent to Le Charvet is a varied interplay of trail and gravel road and a good warm-up for the real highlight, the Pigeon Rollercoaster, which leads down to the left after a short gravel road transfer. Initially a super-fast, obstacle-free speeding trail. The character then changes at a right-hand serpentine. The trail is trickier but still super smooth. Varied, twisty, fast, rooty, rocky, smooth as an eel - everything is here. Some combinations of bends in particular create a rollercoaster feeling. The trail is world-class, even if it is challenging and rough for a few meters in an intermediate section. The rest is pure flow fireworks that ride right up to the outskirts of Cevins. Conclusion: How awesome is that?
The tour can be shortened by riding from Cevins up the mountain road to Le Villard and heading directly to the start of the Pigeon Trail via a gravel road continuation.

We took the steep road to Le Villard and then a flatter, well-rolling gravel path directly to the start. The trail is relatively wide, very untidy and steep throughout. This also makes it very slippery. Probably cool with a bit of trail maintenance - unfortunately not like this.
