About this deal

Anything else? The Dolomites are crazy busy in high summer. Best to go in mid-September or even early October. They’re hot on speeding in villages, with plenty of speed cameras.

Wanneer de bergpassen precies opengaan en weer sluiten hangt af van wanneer de sneeuw is gesmolten en wanneer de eerste sneeuwval begint. You also get the chance to appreciate the variety of Alpine landscapes along the way, from Mont Blanc to the Southern Alps and finally to the hinterland of Nice; it’s amazing how different the landscapes look when you’re cycling through the Alps day after day, one mountain range after another.Why is it great? The Dolomites just might be the most beautiful part of the Alps, all towering grey peaks above lush green slopes. They’re well dotted with cafes and villages and criss-crossed by amazing roads. One of the most famous routes is the Sella Ronda – the four passes surrounding a particularly eye-catching set of mountains .

Onderweg naar Morzine rij je voorbij La Vernaz langs de Pont du Diable kloof, onderdeel van het Geopark Chablais. De kloof werd al in de 19de-eeuw gevonden en staat nu open voor bezoek, waarbij je de rivier de Dranse langs de gekartelde rotswanden kan zien voeren. Morzine Nach einer weiteren kurvenreichen Fahrt über den Col de Vars (2108 m) erreichen wir das Städtchen Barcelonnette und direkt danach den Col de la Cayolle (2326 m), der im Nationalpark Mercantour liegt. Die Passstraße entlang des Flusses Var zählt zu den landschaftlichen Highlights der Tour. In the descent we reach Le Grand-Bornand and La Clusaz, both well-known ski resorts known for the beauty and authenticity of their chalets. Cowbells dominate the soundscape for the evening of our first stopover. Route variant Vanuit Saint-Martin-Vésubie ga je richting Sospel, op 350 m hoogte, via de 1604 m hoge Col de Turini. Daarna rij je via de 728 m hoge Col de Castillon door naar Menton, aan de Middellandse Zee. Deze stad is gelegen op 30 m boven zeeniveau. Basic but clean rooms with good views. Dine in the excellent restaurant, or on the large sun terrace.Anything else? These mountains were fiercely fought over in World War One. One of the must-see sights on the Vrsic pass is the Russian Chapel, built by the soldiers who fought on these slopes. Situated roughly in the middle between the Queyras and Mercantour national parks, the magnificent Ubaye valley will pose a dilemma: taking the main route towards the awe-inspiring Col de la Cayolle or taking the road that will lead you to the heart of the Mercantour via the Col de la Bonette. Los geht’s in dem hübschen Kurort Thonon-les-Bains an den Ufern des Genfer Sees. Mit seinem milden Klima und der schönen Landschaft bietet sich das Städtchen hervorragend für einige Tage zum Entspannen an. Ein empfehlenswerter zentral gelegener Campingplatz ist das Camping La Dranse Vacances André Trigano. Depuis le Galibier, vous aurez une vue magnifique sur de très hauts sommets comme les Ecrins(4 102m), Le Pelvoux(3 946m) et Le Mont Blanc(4 810m).

De Col du Galibier is de mythische bergpas die regelmatig als hoogste passage van de Tour de France dienstdoet Our Route des Grandes Alpes cycle tour takes eight full days of cycling. It takes in all the major sections of the Route des Grandes Alpes, but improves on it to avoid main road sections with higher traffic volume, notably in the valleys. De laatste etappe is geheel gelegen in de Alpes-Maritimes. De route begint nog omringd door berglandschappen, maar eenmaal voorbij Col de Turini wordt het landschap steeds meer Mediterraan. On our level 3 trip, you can take in a return journey to Col du Joly and a more difficult ascent of the Cormet de Roselend via the Col du Pré (average of 8% with some ramps reaching 11%). The Col du Joly is a natural balcony of the Mont Blanc, offering an exceptional panoramic view of the Mont Blanc range, the Contamines valley and the Aravis mountain range. Cols of the day The further the descent leads us into the valley, the higher the mountain giants tower to the left and right. You reach today’s destination, Aussois, via a small balcony road, through larch and pine forests. The many Vauban fortifications bear witness to the village’s former strategic position, when Savoy was alternately French and Italian over the centuries. Cols of the dayToday you connect the two biggest Alpine valleys of Savoy – the Tarentaise (Isère valley) and the Maurienne (valley of the Arc river) – by crossing the famous Col de l’Iseran at 2762 m altitude.

A tip of the house: the north side of the pass road will spoil you with multiple galleries and tunnels, and a steep ascent/descent. Je begint deze etappe in het schilderachtige Thonon-les-Bains op zo’n 450 m hoogte, gelegen aan het Lac Léman of Meer van Genève. Morzine is een beroemd wintersportoord dat vol staat met traditionele architectuur. Zo kan je er nog een kijkje nemen in de historische werkplaatsen om meer te leren over de geschiedenis van de leisteenmijnbouw in de regio en de werktechnieken die bij het winnen en verwerken van leisteen werden gebruikt.
