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.
