Parcours Expert : Grimpée du Col de l'Arpettaz

Vous serez accompagnés par des moniteurs titulaires du BE cyclisme. Assistance et voiture suiveuse seront au programme. RDV à 8h00, pour un départ à 8h30 * La Giettaz – Flumet – Notre Dame de Bellecombe – Crest Voland – Le Cernix - Flon – Héry sur Ugine – Col de l’Apertaz – Héry sur Ugine – Flumet - La Giettaz : 71km/2060m+ * Challenging sections: - From the start in Flumet, the road climbs towards Notre-Dame-de-Bellecombe with an initial challenging stretch of around 2 km at 7 per cent, followed by a more run-out section at 5.5 per cent. After the village, head towards Crest-Voland via Bellecombe: a short descent is followed by a sustained climb of around 2 km at an average gradient of 8 per cent. Enough to really wake up your legs before continuing on to the Col de l’Arpettaz! - The main challenge: the Col de l’Arpettaz via the north-east slope, starting from the Flon bridge in the Gorges de l’Arly. This first section is gruelling, with 2.9 km at an average gradient of nearly 8 per cent. Then, just after Héry-sur-Ugine, the gradient steepens on the Route de la Lierre with 4.3 km at nearly 9 per cent up to just above Hauteville, including a particularly gruelling 700-metre section at 10.5 per cent! The gradient eases slightly with 1.2 km at an average of 6–7 per cent up to the Chalets de la Lierre. After a brief respite – a 2.4 km stretch at 5 per cent – there’s one final 500-metre climb at 7.5 per cent to reach the summit at an altitude of 1,590 metres. All this takes place against a backdrop of breathtaking beauty, with Mont Charvin opposite and Mont Blanc to your right. You’ll need to be very careful on the descent, which can quickly become treacherous.
