A fun and varied route that teens will love, with the option of taking a relaxing break at the Germanette Recreation Center.

Follow the mountain bike trail N°14 (VTT N°14)

Description

Starting from Place de Serres, cross the Buëch River and turn right onto a small road that quickly becomes a dirt path along the river.
Continue along this path until you reach a mogul field where you can have some fun for a few minutes. We also recommend taking a detour to the Germanette Recreation Center to cool off.
Take the road to the departmental road (be careful). Turn right and then left after about 100 m to take a path under the railroad tracks.
Continue along the trail until you reach a small road. Climb up to Bersac and turn left. The road becomes a trail. Ride for about 300 m and leave the trail for a fun path alternating between marl and forest. Caution: some short sections may seem technical for those less accustomed to mountain biking. You’ll rejoin a forest trail and soon reach the road that descends back to the center of Serres.

Lake and river
The Buëch River
A tributary of the Durance, the Buëch Riover is a peaceful river that irrigates many apple fields and other orchards along its course. Taking its source in Lus-la-Croix-Haute, the stream stretches for 85 kilometers and drops to an altitude of nearly 2,000 meters.

The Germanette lake offers a nice refreshing stop. Composed of three natural pools (for swimming, water and fishing activities) is an ideal relaxing place. Swimming is supervised from July 1st to August 31st. A beach bar is open during the summer season and a restaurant all year round.
