Discovery tours on a VTTAE?

Haute Maurienne also offers several "discovery" routes for pedaling to the valley's most beautiful landscapes. From your saddle, you'll be able to observe marmots, flora and heritage, with villages boasting authentic architecture and 19th-century forts... You'll also be able to admire the Vanoise or Charbonnel glaciers, and contemplate the immense Mont Cenis lake: a change of scenery guaranteed! You don't need to be a champion mountain biker to ride these trails, as you'll always be on beautiful, easy trails or small roads. And for an even easier way to tackle the slopes, try out the electrically-assisted mountain bikes.
