The ascent of a resort
Between 1 400 m and 1 700 m stretches a family resort that allows cyclists a good warm up to 11km with percentages ranging between 5.5% and 10%, a good alternative before attacking the mountain passes of the valley.
After crossing the Long Bridge, ensues a stretch of 1.3 kilometers which seems to be a false flat stretch but in fact is charged with a good 5% incline and then following is a string of turns at 9% and we start the hard stuff, however this does not stop us from taking a good peek above the resort at the «Tete des Fanets» (2568 m), the «Tete Grosse» (2541 m), «the Rouchinière» (2709 m) and the «Rocher de Tête Clapouse» (2750 m).
