라크 데 툴 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

이 오르막은 정말 놀랍습니다. 가파르지는 않지만 길고, 아주 길고, 끝이 없습니다. 페달을 밟은 지 한 시간이 넘었는데도 정상은 보이지 않고, 에너지는 거의 다 떨어졌고, 바람은 계속 얼굴을 때립니다. 자전거를 던져버리고 "그만! 여기서 멈출 거야..."라고 외치고 싶을 정도입니다. 하지만 이건 잠시뿐입니다. 당신이 이 도전을 선택했고 무엇을 하러 가는지 아주 잘 알고 있었기 때문입니다. 이전보다 더 강한 의지로 다시 출발하고, 남은 모든 힘을 다해 마지막 몇 킬로미터를 달려 나갑니다. 그리고 터널에 들어서면, 해냈다는 것을 깨닫기 시작합니다. 터널을 나와 약간 왼쪽으로 꺾이는 길을 따라가면, 꿈처럼 호수가 나타납니다. 정상에 도착하면, 수세기 동안 이 길을 걸었던 수많은 사람들을 생각하게 됩니다. 살라시족, 로마인, 수도사, 이주민, 나폴레옹 군인들... 당신은 역사가 깊고 자연이 아름다운 곳에 있다는 것을 깨닫게 되고, 이 언덕을 사랑하지 않을 수 없습니다.

This trail is part of the Via Francigena on foot. Although you may encounter hikers, riding it is a lot of fun!

The austere buildings of the Hospice of Great St. Bernard are situated in a rocky pass through which an icy wind almost always blows, on the edge of a lake that is frozen for an average of 265 days a year and where winter lasts almost eight months. For nine centuries, the Canons Regular of the Order of St. Augustine, who settled here at the instigation of St. Bernard of Menthon, have maintained a tradition of helpfulness and hospitality. Travellers who wish to relax for a while in this peaceful place are welcome all year round.

A cute, bohemian refreshment bar, offering snacks and coffee, and an essential place to visit before, during or after a walk, there's never a bad time for coffee and cake.

Perfect alpine singletrack, winding along the steep valley side. The trail offers perfect views, which sometimes makes it very difficult to concentrate on the trail! This section is also used by hikers, so be sure to ride respectfully. Since this is an alpine meadow, expect to see a few cows wandering through the fields; wave to them as you pass.

A historic and iconic monastery perched on the border between Switzerland and Italy, it has existed as a hospice for over 1,000 years. Saint Bernard dogs, a symbol of Switzerland, were bred here for many years to rescue mountaineers in distress. The monastery is also located on the shores of the tranquil Great St. Bernard Lake, where many trails begin.
