Expert route : Mont Blanc from Plaine Joux and Bettex

You will be accompanied by instructors who hold the BE cycling certificate. Assistance and follow car will be on the program. Meeting at 8.15 am, for a departure at 8.30 am. Details of the route : Departure from La Giettaz – Flumet – Megève – Cordon – Sallanches– Col de Plaine Joux – Chedde – St Gervais - Le Bettex– Megève - La Giettaz : 102km/2510m+ * Challenging sections: 2 difficult sections: - the climb to Plaine Joux From Passy, the climb to Plaine Joux covers around 14 km with a total elevation gain of nearly 900 m. From the very first few kilometres, the gradient is demanding, with sections consistently between 7% and 8%. The most challenging section comes before reaching the plateau, with several sustained gradients approaching 9%, requiring careful pacing. The arrival at Plaine Joux, however, offers a superb panorama of the Mont Blanc massif – a well-deserved reward after the effort. - The climb to Bettex via Les Granges Less busy than the main climb, this wilder and more uneven ascent holds a few pleasant surprises. From Saint-Gervais, the road rises gradually before becoming steeper in the Les Granges area. The gradients frequently fluctuate between 7 and 9%, with several narrower and more technical sections. Some steeper sections will require you to maintain your pace without pushing yourself too hard. A demanding but enjoyable climb, in peaceful surroundings, with a lovely mountain atmosphere right up to the finish at Le Bettex. The return to La Giettaz is a mere formality.
