Col de Pontis

A tough 62-mile cycling loop of Lac de Serre-Ponçon, incorporating Col de Pontis and Col Lebraut, on a baking hot sunny day. Spectacular views of the lake were never far away.

Col du Mont Cenis

A beautiful bike ride in the Maurienne valley, from Termignon to Col du Petit Mont Cenis, and then over Col du Mont Cenis and down to the Italian border. Featuring mountain meadows, flowers and streams.

Lacets de Montvernier

I rode from La Chambre to experience the remarkable Lacets de Montvernier, seventeen closely-packed hairpins that scale the side of the Maurienne valley. Also featuring today was a snake, a lizard and a balcony road!
