Traversée du Mollard – Itinéraires pour vélo de route en Maurienne

02:56

43.7km

1,430m

Road cycling

This tour is similar to the tour of the Albiez, but you pack a few more meters on top and climb the Col du Mollard. Then it goes back down via an alternative downhill route.

You start in Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne and climb the countless hairpins through the wonderfully quiet forest. After Albiez-les-Jeunes it's about six kilometers uphill until you have reached the highest point: the Col du Mollard.

Now it's rapidly going downhill. The descent is picturesque and at the end you have another magnificent view of the Aiguilles d'Arves. With a big grin you will reach your starting point after driving 44 kilometers. Whether the Opinel Museum or French gastronomy - in any case you can end your tour here in style.

Col du Mollard - Yawing paradise

Highlight (Segment) • Other

Col du Mollard, this cornering paradise should simply be mentioned separately. I have no idea how many hairpin bends there are, but there are a lot as you can see on the map. Beat by beat it goes up, gaining height. Unfortunately, you only have a brief view of the Maurienne valley at the beginning. Three things should be mentioned positively here: (1) in summer or in bad weather you are well protected by the forest (I drove up here in the rain, but I didn't notice much of it), (2) the gradient is relatively moderate and ( 3) nothing is going on. Pure tranquility and idyll. Asphalt is a little lousy. Therefore: better up than down.

You did it and reached the Col de Mollard at an altitude of 1,638 meters! The view of the jagged peaks of the Aiguilles d'Arves is simply awesome.
