The ascent continues and brings sports enthusiasts to the Auberge de Tissiniva at 1474m, for a tasty break or refreshments. A final effort is necessary to reach the summit of Vounetz, after passing the chalet of Banderettes d'Amont.

Arriving at the summit of Vounetz at 1610m, mountain bikers can admire the view of La Gruyère and the summits of the Pre-Alps. The Dents-Vertes restaurant welcomes you to relax over a nice local meal or a well-deserved aperitif.
The descent, along mountain roads closed to traffic, leads to the Gros Ganet and the intermediate station of the cable car. The last section, on a tarmac road with little traffic, takes the cyclists through the districts of La Chaudalla and des Arses in Charmey.
