モンヴァレザンのおすすめMTBライド

A great Aosta Valley classic; the climb itself isn't particularly difficult, but be careful not to underestimate the wind that often blows strongly from France, making the 12 km from La Thuile to the pass much more challenging than the steepness suggests. The landscape is beautiful and evocative: from the iconic eight hairpin bends that allow you to leave Pré-Saint-Didier behind, you enter the cool valley that leads to La Thuile. After passing the ski resort, you quickly gain altitude with long straights, then enter the forest and conclude the climb in a vast alpine meadow.

The pink roads lead to the station... But their gradient is rather full-bodied red.

Don't hesitate to go to the Italian side: the coffee is much better.

La Rosière is a ski resort during the winter months and has an extensive mountain bike park in the summer. It offers a spectacular view of the surrounding mountains and the Tarentaise valley.

The Col du Petit-Saint-Bernard from Bourg Saint Maurice is 26.50 km long with a total drop of 1348 m. The average gradient is 5.1% with maximum gradients of 8.1%. It's an epic climb to do in the Tarentaise Valley. It is only accessible during the summer months due to its high altitude. There are spectacular views of Mont Blanc as you ascend, then incredible views as you descend. It is believed that Hanibal used this mountain pass to cross the border into Italy.

Colle del Piccolo San Bernardo is an alpine pass that connects the valley of La Thuile, in the Aosta Valley, with the Haute-Tarantaise, in France at an altitude of 2188m. The hill has been frequented since ancient times, as evidenced by the numerous archaeological and historical finds found there.

The Petit Saint-Bernard is a consistently very nice pass with moderate gradients and comparatively very little traffic. If you come from France and continue to Italy, you might be surprised at how French influenced the Italian side is still far to Aosta.
