Take to the roads of the Tour de France and climb the surrounding passes, with some effort of course, but what a great reward at the end! A little stamina and motivation will be your main allies to achieve this beautiful challenge!
To vary the pleasures, no less than 13 climbs and 5 departmental routes are accessible from Moûtiers. 3 levels of difficulty to evolve at your own pace (difficult, sporty and moderate).
Take on the Col de la Loze, the latest addition to the 3 Vallées! Reserved for cyclists (bikes, VAE), it will eventually link the 3 Valleys by a cycle route "the Via 3 Vallées". At present it links Courchevel to Méribel and the departure can be made from Moûtiers!
