    Whether climbing or descending, the road between Champex-Lac and Orsiéres is simply a joy on a road bike! A few hairpin bends on the ascent help keep the gradient down, with average single-digit gradients down into the high valley.

    The descent from Champex-Lac down to Orsières is peppered with incredible views down into the valley and of the Alpine panorama. It's especially picturesque in autumn, when the larch forests turn golden.

    There's a small restaurant in Som-la-Proz where you can get some refreshments. Alternatively, you can continue a few kilometers further down the valley to Orsières. There are various shops and restaurants where you can buy everything you need for the rest of your tour.
