Beautiful climb and beautiful descent!!

At the foot of the winding road to Notre Dame du Pré, stands this chapel built atop an isolated rock. Until 1600, the Château Saint Jacques occupied this ideal location, overlooking the valley. The neo-Gothic chapel, dedicated to Saint Jacques de Tarentaise, was built in 1898 using stones from the now-defunct château.

Since 2020, the Col de la Loze has established itself as one of the new major climbs of the Tour de France. Its ten kilometers at an average gradient of 8.5%, which can reach peaks of 20%, are formidable.

Amazing new bike path that is very challeging in places, be careful on windy days. Takes you through a small village and at the end of that the 4 meter wide path appears and its all you now. No where to hide, just work and enjoy the amazing view to the top. You can then take the main road on the downhill.

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!

Only bicycles are allowed, no cars

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

Beautiful route
