The 1st day of the week will give you the chance to discover or rediscover the Aravis massif, its mountain pastures and its climbs... this route will remain serious with the little-known Col des Annes, but the incredible view from the summit will almost make you forget your aching legs!
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.

The first little difficulty of the week to get you started is the Col des Aravis from the village of La Giettaz, which is 6km long and has a relatively even gradient that can still reach 8% in places.
The second difficulty, the Col des Annes, is an often overlooked climb. The first 5km will give you a chance to warm up.
