VCT TODAY

 

RouteS

From the cycle centre - there are plenty of nice loops to be done of varying difficulty and length. Here is a nice 3-4 hour ride.

Col de la Colombiere Loop - head down to Bonneville and then up Mont Saxonnax. This is a 5km climb through the woods.

Descend down to the Blanzy and the start of the Col de la Colombiere. This is a climb of two. 4km up through the woods at 7%. Then a 2.5km relatively flat section leading into the village of Le Reposoir (which is a good place to stop for coffee).

Then its a 7km up to the Col. The last three kilometres are the toughest but you are rewarded with a flowing downhill in Le Grand Bornand and the cycle centre.
