Fay-en-Montagne offers travelers several distinct points of interest: mountain bike circuits with Roman connections, guided rides on electric off-road scooters, and a pilgrimage to Saint Fort. When planning, you can first decide whether the route of a cycling tour, a time-limited guided ride, or the religious tradition should shape your stay. The Roman route connections are a central feature of the circuits; for Foxtrott, the one- to two-hour duration and specific participation requirements are relevant. This makes it possible to distinguish the activities by their format and respective focus.
Mountain Bike Circuits and Roman Traces
The “Les Vestiges du Passé – 2B” mountain bike circuit starts and ends in Fay-en-Montagne. Sights you can discover along the way include an old Roman road. The Roman wells of Le Fied in the surrounding area are also among the discoveries along the route. On the second circuit, “Les Puits Romains – 1V,” the route follows an old Roman road for about 1,100 meters. This lets you distinguish the two circuits by their specific Roman connections: on the 1V, a section of the route on the road is identified; on the 2B, the road and wells are among the discoveries along the way.
Getting to the Starting Point
To reach the starting point of the “Les Puits Romains – 1V” circuit, travel from Lons-le-Saunier via the D471 and then take the D4 to Fay-en-Montagne. The parking area for this circuit is opposite the town hall. Check your current navigation before setting out; confirm parking availability locally. This lets you take the journey and starting point into account when planning, without confusing practical directions with the route’s features.
Guided Rides with Foxtrott
Foxtrott offers guided rides in Fay-en-Montagne on electric off-road scooters, lasting one to two hours. Participants must be at least 14 years old and weigh no more than 95 kg. Groups are limited to a maximum of six people; helmets and gloves are provided. For planning your time, the stated duration is a separate point of reference alongside the mountain bike circuits. Offer and participation conditions may change, so it is advisable to check the latest details before planning.
The Pilgrimage to Saint Fort
Since 1165, a pilgrimage in Fay-en-Montagne has been dedicated to Saint Gui, known as Saint Fort. This religious connection adds a distinct historical tradition to the Roman themes of the circuits. If you are interested in this aspect of the area, you can include the pilgrimage in your travel plans as a different focus alongside activities on two wheels. The two themes offer different ways to experience Fay-en-Montagne: the circuits lead to Roman traces, while the pilgrimage is dedicated to Saint Gui.
