From the train station through the old town, along the Rhine, one last time France, something to eat behind the Dreiländerbrücke, I forgot wine at Migros in Switzerland. Nice little hotel, even with a terrace 👍, unfortunately no free reception of the ⚽, as soon as we are outside..., ORF is encrypted

The last part of the day in France, a small pass in the Chartreuse, descent to Voreppe and the Isere. Along the Isere to Grenoble and the train station. The TER starts here, in 2 hours in Geneva. Luckily I chose the variant with Grenoble, a more relaxed start, timely preparation and an on-time departure

Small round to finish, I already rode Cucheron 12 years ago, but from Chambery, with 3 passes to Grenoble.
Today simpler and more relaxed.
Initially Via Chartreuse, partly unpaved cycle path. Testing on D520 for tomorrow. Up along Guiers Mort to Saint Pierre de Chartreuse. Great landscape. At the turn

Initially, it was a railway line cycle path again. Then it went uphill again on a small road. Partially nice views of the lake. Just before the pass, we found a nice place for a break, just in time before 2 p.m. The descent was then quick, a small village with shops and a campsite. Huge, but relatively

Small pass, breakfast as usual, short drive. Drove to a construction site first, asked, but it was a Turkish construction worker 🤔😂👍, carefully drove past on the side, I think impossible in Germany. There have been worse roads, but okay. It'll get done. Further ascent relaxed without cars and steady

Today one of two additional laps. Started early, first a bit of a railway path, but then it quickly got down to business. Overall steady climbs, very few cars, only one with a motorcycle and quite a few more cyclists. A nice salad at the top. The descent is not yet the D109, the photos are mislabeled

Nice round with totally different sensations.
Start early, small breakfast next to the campsite.
A bit of a railway path, from Saint Ferreol on the D12 a pleasant climb and considerate drivers.
Downhill without problems.
Nice break in the old town of Thones.
A stretch of cycle path, but then as usual in France

Sunday in great weather, a beautiful lake and 90% felt like only a bike path. On the Ugine - Annecy railway cycle path we can observe, very good offers are used a lot. Until now I knew Talloire without a bike path and the railway cycle path on the east side. Not the route from Talloire to Annecy. Today

Like a few days ago, this time down to Albertville, partly on different routes. Break as 2 weeks ago in Brasserie Le Gaulois. Heat battle to Ugine and to the campsite. Spontaneous re-planning, I'm staying here for 3 nights, it would be too crowded by the lake. Shopping, laundry, shower and food. Very

One direction: up to Meribel. Road with stressful traffic, due to construction site, sometimes with less. The truck drivers were the friendliest this time, luckily no motorcycles. 2 saving water spots, luckily not permanently sunny though, also some shade. Meribel is not really the dream destination
