エギュブランシュの峠・トップ7

The last 5km on the cycle path are really challenging, with climbs up to 22 percent steep. So pace yourself wisely! The view up there makes up for the effort, and there's a restaurant there too!

The ascent of the Col de la Madeleine from the north side, while longer than the south, is nevertheless more accessible due to more reasonable gradients. The average gradient is 6%, and a flat section allows you to regain your strength between the tenth and twelfth kilometer.

The ascent of the Col de la Loze from Brides-les-Bains is a variation of the classic climb from Méribel. Twelve kilometers are added for a total of 22.5 kilometers at 7.6%.

Long, but relatively easy on this slope 25 km, 1,650 m elevation gain

Quite an easy climb, however the terminal was missing due to work at the summit on the day of my ascent (mid-August 2024), hoping to return soon!

This wild col opens out at the top of a winding, unsurfaced road at an altitude of 2,107 metres (6,913 ft). The views are spectacular, especially south-west towards the high Vanoise, snow-capped all year round. Enjoyable running trails stretch in every direction, calling out to be explored: down to Lac du Saint-Guerin, past the Croix du Berger towards Mont Coin, up to the Cret du Boeuf, or through the valley to Granier.

In summer as in winter, by bike, on skis or in basketball, this pass is always so beautiful! The climb from Aime by bike is great, although steep in places!

Well worth the denomination of "col"!
