    Tips

    The higher you get from Embrun, the more beautiful the views over Lac de Serre-Ponçon become. The first part of the climb is 6 kilometers long until Puy Sanières. This is followed by a short descent, after which you gradually ascend further to the small hamlet of Les Méans. Because the slopes are in the sun, you can also cycle here in winter. Please note, because it can logically be warm here in high summer.

        Nice climb from Embrun to Saint Apollinaire. Kilometer for kilometer, with a relatively constant 8% gradient, you develop an ever higher view over the Lac de Serre-Poncon. The well-paved road is part of the EmbrunMan triathlon for both the short distance (OD) and the long distance.
