Tour of the lake in winter mode (down jacket all the way... except of course on the climbs).
Col du chat the fresh way, Col de la Chambotte the hard way!

Departure from Chambéry on a beautiful, flat section of about 10 km, along the lake on a greenway: super pleasant. In Bourdeau, the climb to the Col du Chat begins, then a turnoff towards Hautecombe Abbey, with several perfect spots for a break and enjoying the view.
