Route passing through the Col des Saisies to the Col du Joly, a pass that remains unspoilt and wild... Challenging climbs rewarded by splendid panoramic views of Mont Blanc. A sporty and scenic outing to be savoured to the full.
* Route details :
Departure from La Giettaz - Flumet – Crest-Voland – Les Saisies – Hauteluce– Col du Joly – Hauteluce – Les Saisies- Notre Dame de Bellcombe – Flumet - La Giettaz : 90km/2615m+
* Difficult sections:
3 difficulties:
- From Flumet, the Col des Saisies
14.6 km long, it is fairly steady with a gradient often between 6 and 7%, but with a steeper section at 8% for 1.350 km. The last few kilometres will be easier to negotiate
- After this warm-up, the Col du Joly. From Hauteluce, the climb covers approximately 22 km with an elevation gain of 1,400 m. The first few kilometres are relatively gentle (4-5%), allowing you to warm up in the valley and through the hamlets.
Halfway through, the slope gradually steepens, alternating between 7 and 8% over several kilometres, with occasional steeper sections reaching 10%.
The last few kilometres sometimes reach up to 9%, before reaching the summit at 1,986 m.
-From Hauteluce, the climb to the Col des Saisies is about 7 km long with an elevation gain of 500 m. The first few kilometres are gradual (4-5%), allowing you to find your rhythm as you pass through hamlets and forests.
The central section becomes more sustained, with gradients ranging from 6 to 7%, punctuated by sections of 8% in the hairpin bends.
The return to La Giettaz is a mere formality.
