Col de Pontis

A tough 62-mile cycling loop of Lac de Serre-Ponçon, incorporating Col de Pontis and Col Lebraut, on a baking hot sunny day. Spectacular views of the lake were never far away.

Col du Mont Cenis

A beautiful bike ride in the Maurienne valley, from Termignon to Col du Petit Mont Cenis, and then over Col du Mont Cenis and down to the Italian border. Featuring mountain meadows, flowers and streams.

Cappella di Chatelet

A bike ride up the Valgrisenche valley around Lake Beauregard and the tiny chapel, Cappella di Chatelet, returning by a lakeside gravel path. I discovered much more of the history after the ride.
