Highlight • Mountain Pass

Very nice long pass winding through the forest then the mountain pastures. Narrow road with often bad coating, but accessible to all types of bikes. Few cars, calm... To do!

Col de l'Arpettaz

Highlight • Mountain Pass

This little-known pass offers magnificent views of the Mont-Blanc massif. But the climb is worth it. You have the option of continuing in gravel mode towards the Col des Aravis.

July 1, 2025,Boucle Col de L'Arpettaz – Flumet au départ de Saint-Nicolas-la-Chapelle

A beautiful pass, starting from Ugine.
The climb is mostly through the woods.
No one, just one car, and no bikes.
Unbelievable.
Be careful, I found it tough.
