A day's ride that won't always be easy, but the panoramic views, particularly of the Roselend dam, could well make you forget all your efforts. A grandiose route that will take you along small, unspoilt roads...
You will be accompanied by instructors who hold the BE cycling certificate. Assistance and a follow car will be on the programme.
Details of the route :
Departure from : La Giettaz – Flumet – Pont de Flon – Crest Voland - Col des Saisies - Beaufort – Les Croix – Les Chozeaux – Le Bettet – La Frasse – Arêches- Col du Pré - Col du Méraillet - Cormet de Roselend – Col du Méraillet – Ville dessous – Ville dessus – Hauteluce – Col des Saisies – Notre Dame de Bellecombe – Flumet – La Giettaz : 134km/4080m+
4 major difficulties:
- the 14km Les Saisies climb from the Mottets bridge in the Gorges de l'Arly. The gradient is already sustained at an average of 8% up to Crest-Voland, with one section at 9.5%. After a flat section at the village of Crest-Voland, the route continues for 7km on moderate gradients.
- the climb from Beaufort to Cormet de Roselend, with over 1,200m of gradient over more than 30km. This year, the route will take a new variant from Beaufort (via Chozeaux) to reach Arêches.
- You'll then have to work up a sweat on the Col du Pré, with its 15 hairpin bends and 7.5km climb, which will increase in difficulty from 8 to 9.5%. From the Roselend dam onwards, Le Cormet will be a mere formality.
- We mustn't let our guard down on the return journey via the south side of the Col des Saisies, taking another option (Les Villes-Hauteluce) for 18km and 750m ascent
The organisation reserves the right to modify the routes according to the weather conditions and other unforeseen circumstances.
All participants must provide proof that they are fit to practise cycling.
Each participant must have a medical certificate that proves their ability to cycle that dates from 2024 or no longer than one year ago.
No registration will be taken into account if the file is incomplete.
