A must-do section of rugged gravel that rolls through this alpine landscape, hugging the side of the mountain, with the ridge line of the Aravis range above you. On a clear day, you can see across to the lofty peak of Mont Blanc.

The Route de la Soif connects the Col de l'Arpettaz with the Col des Aravis. The dirt section is 14 kilometers long and winds at the foot of the rocky mountains through a succession of hairpins and slides with a slope of no more than 6%.
It is one of the most beautiful and recommended gravel roads, in Aravis, near Annecy.
