브리즈 레 뱅‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪9‬개의 산길

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!

While the Col de la Loze has become famous for its climb from Méribel, the ascent from Courchevel offers a more accessible, second-category alternative, spanning over eight kilometers at an average gradient of 6.6%. Beware, however, of some steep sections and the altitude.

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%.

Access either by ski lift from Saint-Martin or Méribel, more or less easy climb with an electric mountain bike if necessary. The panorama up there is breathtaking!

The Col de la Loze is a 2304 meter high mountain pass in the French Alps

Beautiful route

The Col de Tougnète is a new challenge that was created during the summer of 2022 in the Vanoise massif in the heart of the "Three Valleys." The access road was built on the same principle as the Col de la Loze (which is a short distance away) by paving a ski slope in the Les Ménuires ski area. Unlike the Col de la Loze, the Col de Tougnète only offers one slope. The "cycle" path is, of course, closed to motorized vehicles. From the entrance to the Les Ménuires resort (alt. 1,732 meters), it's a "short" climb of 8.350 kilometers, offering 699 meters of elevation gain at an average of... 8.5%!

We reach the Col de la Tougnète via a new asphalt cycle path, a former ski slope in the Ménuires area. Prepare for the ascent: several passages are more than 10%...
