A route for both levels without any major difficulties... With gentle climbs: the Aravis, the Croix Fry and then the little-known Merdassier pass, which is very easy to cycle. A break at Lac des Confins is a must, to enjoy the setting and end the week on a high note.
You will be accompanied by qualified cycling instructors. Assistance and a follow car will be part of the programme.
Meeting at 8.00 a.m. for an 8.30 a.m. start.
