Riding in the Chartreuse I climbed the beautiful but tough northern ascent of the Col de la Charmette
I finally got round to writing up this report for a tough ride I did back in May 2023 during my first visit to the wonderful Chartreuse massif near Grenoble.
Still in the Chartreuse this ride from Entremont-le-vieux to Col du Granier bagged me another 4 cols on the way! Beautiful day. Beautiful scenery.
After the last ride, I revisited that amazing gorge road (la route des Gorges du Guiers Mort) to get photos and find out more..
My first ride in the Chartreuse massif on a beautiful day ended up being a very long slog
