  • Day 2

Valle Verte - Col de Terramount - Col de Ramaz

Our first day of cycling takes down to the village of La Vernaz. From here we cycle along the Vallee Verte - the green valley, a truly picturesque valley with several pretty hamlets to cycle through as we pass over the Col de Terramount (1086 mtrs) and Col du Perret (963 mtrs).

After lunch we head towards Taninges and tackle the Col de la Ramaz climbing to 1610 mtrs. This col leads us through the winter ski resort of Sommer and then through Praz de Lys on a very exciting descent. From here we make our way back to the Chalet through Let Get and into Morzine

  • Day 3

Today we head out of Morzine from the chalet to our first climb of the day - Col de L'Encrenaz, climbing to 1433mtrs. From here we descend down to the village of Taninges and head along the Vallee de Giffe into the pretty village of Samoens. After a brief respite to refuel and have a coffee in one of the many cafes in the village, we then head out and tackle the Col de Joux Plane. This is one of the Tour de France classics rising to 1691mtrs and with a climb with maximum average of 13%, it will challenge even the fittest of cyclists. The magnificent panoramas of the surrounding scenery and Mount Blanc at the top of the climb are great rewards for all of the effort.

Once over the top we have a superb descent all the way back into the village of Morzine. We take a lunch stop by Lac Montriond which sits at the start of our final climb of the day, Col de Joux Verte climbing to 1760 mtrs. The road climbs through a number of switchbacks before the first plateau where the goat village is situated. It then climbs again through a leafy forest before summiting at Avoriaz. The descent back down to Morzine is truly a magical way to complete the day.
