Description
On the way up you'll have all the time you need to take in the beautiful scenery. The descent should put a smile back on your face.
The 700-metre elevation gain on the way up takes grit, but with a steady pace on the regular incline you'll get there in the end. Most of the ascent is on a track. The descent begins on a picturesque singletrack path where you'll have some fun on the steep sections,. It ends on a track which will give your brakes a rest. From the top, there are superb views over the Mont Cenis range and the Vanoise glaciers.
