Cycle like the professionals at the foot of Mont Blanc

Posted on August 18, 2018 Updated on August 18, 2018

Summer activities don’t finish at the end of August in Chamonix, the out door playground just keeps giving.

On the 15th and 16th September you have the opportunity to enrol a team of two cyclists, (or more teams if there are two of you of course) and experience some of cycling’s legendary climbs with the support of feeding and medial back up. You can set your own pace, but rise to the challenge of timed sections. The race’s start is only 20 mins drive down the valley from Barrats A’s door.

Stage 1

The 1st stage will take place in Vallée de Passy with some famous hill that will offer various routes with views on Mont Blanc.

In total 72km with 3 timed sections uphill. A total of 2000m of positive elevation.

Stage 2

The 2nd stage of La Cordée Cyclo will be the most challenging one.

A magnificent loop starting from Passy and to ride around the Aravis mountains. At the end of Plateau d’Assy you will have an amazing view in front of the Mont Blanc massif

In total 126km and 3000m of altitude are waiting for you with 4 sections timed uphill.

The first km will allow the peloton to stretch the legs and share, because it is 22km flat (slightly downhill) that will take you from Passy to Cluses.

Details of enrolment can be found on La Cordee’s site.
