What to Expect

Starting from the foot of the Aravis, we quickly leave the main roads to follow wide, well-maintained gravel tracks.
The climbing is progressive, never brutal, allowing everyone to find a steady rhythm.
The terrain alternates between forest roads, alpine pastures and panoramic ridgelines.As we approach Megève, the views open toward the Mont-Blanc massif.
A half or full day on the bike depending your rhythm — challenging but accessible, designed to enjoy riding, not suffering.
