    This gravel loop starting from Lake Moubra, crisscrosses between lakesr, forests and mountain villages. The first kilometres follow Lake Moubra and Lake Grenon, then traverse Crans towards the west. Toward Vernasses, the tree-lined road offers clear views over the west of the Rhône valley. The descent leads to the village of Lens via small local roads, with Lake Louché and the silhouette of Christ the King on Châtelard hill as a backdrop. The next ascent skirts Chermignon, reaches Lake Miriouges then the Moubra forest and the shore of the eponymous lake. There are several restaurants and other places suitable for a break along the route, such as picnic areas.

    Author’s recommendation

    Take a break at a restaurant or the art center Opale in Lens, at a picnic area (covered at Scie, Miriouges), or at the Moubra.
