In the vineyards

The mountain bike route continues through the vineyards, and once you've reached Saint-Lager, you'll gain altitude to take in Mont Brouilly and its wine-growing hillsides. Then it's on steep, steady trails that you'll climb over the Beaujolais moors, before descending to Le Perréon, the finishing village of the stage.

The cycle route

From Régnié-Durette, a fairly rolling GTR MTB route that progresses mainly on paths (11.3 km) with a few sections on trails (2.5 km), again through vineyards.

Some technical sections on the climb after Brouilly.
