The La Frassette forest trail starts behind the "Le Chaudron"
inn in Montsapey. You will cross the hamlet of Le Villaret, then
ride a steep descent to the hydroelectric power plant. Then cross
the stream on "pont des Guerres" to reach the forest trail that
leads to the hamlet of Montgodioz.
From there on, the route is a pleasant succession of up and downhills.
First go up to the old spring of "la Frassette", before going
down to the bridge over the Basmont stream, then up again to the
hamlets of Le Coter and Le Torchet.
Then back to the inn via the local road through Le Mollard and
Montsapey. You can make it a little longer, avoid the road and
enjoy an exceptional panorama by going up to Le Mollard and across
the pastures to La Chapelle and Montsapey.
