シャンテルーヴの峠・トップ19

Pass above Villard-Reymond. Be careful, turn left just before entering the village! This officially listed but little-known pass offers a breathtaking view of the 21 bends of Alpe d'Huez!!! Not to be missed!

One of my favourite climbs in the area. There are four short unlit tunnels 1km out of Bourg on the start of the climb and they're quite poorly surfaced, especially the final one, so it's best to do this one with a decent set of lights. Lot of people stop and turn around at the village of Villard Notre Dam when the tarmac stops but if you keep going, I think the gravel section is the best bit - it's about 2.5km long to the top and it's do-able on a road bike - and if you're lucky you might see a marmot or two, especially if you ride it in the morning. Once you start to descend it's worth a detour to the cafe in Villard Reymond - the L'Eau Blanche.

The Col d'Ornon, perched at 1,371 meters above sea level in the French Alps, is a captivating mountain pass offering spectacular views. Famous for cycling and hiking, its winding roads and trails invite adventure.

An easy pass, away from traffic, in the very heart of the Alpe du Grand Serre Station. From Séchilienne, approx. 15km for D+ 1000m. To do in summer to enjoy the freshness of this shady slope.

The Col de la Morte opens a window onto the Alpine landscapes. A Mecca for cyclists, hikers and trail runners, it is the scene of memorable climbs and outdoor adventures!

Traffic-calmed climb without extreme gradients. Fun to do from both sides.

One of the most beautiful viewpoints in the area. Ideal if you are looking for a nice quiet climb with great views. This is definitely worth a short stop, beautiful with a view over the valley.

I added the SAMBY to avoid a round trip of the existing proposed hike in Visorando Departure in the Undergrowth by a forest track, it climbs well up to the Col du Plan Collet. on the left towards the CAVALE by the long ridge. on the right the SAMBY for the return by a path in the forest. nice view of the OBIOU, the triève, a superb view also of the summit of the Coiro in June, the flora is extraordinary the descent through the small valley all in bloom in JUNE really made you want to venture there I opted for a picnic at the edge of the small torrent using the ends of existing paths the path then is quite visible in the middle of the valley ps: as often by turning around from half of the valley we can clearly see the route when you reach the flat valley, you find old round walls and chamois the path is dotted from here on an old map to join the path of the climb continue the path skirting the hill and following the path sometimes clearly visible, sometimes it disappears some cairns still remain, I straightened them (the lilies of St Bruno dot the meadow) we join the path of the climb of the 1st stop we descend to the Col du Plan Collet
