Description

Coup d'Fouet is a black trail located in the lower part of Châtel bike park. And is named after one of the Châtel bike patrollers; François Debergé.

It is a typical DH track and is nice and steep, like its two neighbouring trails, la Gueps et la Dré dans l'Pentu. However, compared to the other two, it has maybe fewer roots. The beginning of the trail has a few nice jumps and then things start to alternate between very steep and not quite so steep, where you will have to battle the undulating terrain.

At the end of the trail you will join Ric and Rac.
