New section of cycle route 62 between Sainte-Hélène-sur-Isère and Grésy-sur-Isère. Ride peacefully along the river and at the foot of the Alps.

Little-known and little-frequented pass, the climb is done alone and without a sound in the forest. The view is magnificent and on arrival, the refuge allows you to have a small drink (⚠️payment by species only). The road is in poor condition and it can be disturbing on the way down. If you have a Gravel and courage, the thirst route (Gravel/mountain bike path) allows you to reach the Col des Aravis and is magnificent. Enjoy your climb and for more advice, follow us on Komoot and Instagram @chouchou_team

Charmless pass between the ski slopes. The end of the road above Hauteluce offers beautiful views towards Arêches.

Perfect starting point for great mountain bike or running tours. Everything on site. Parking, shops, nature.
