ROUTE
From Vaujany, this long ride starts with a downhill stretch. Make the most of this time to relax! Once at the Lac du Verney, turn right to start the climb up to the pass. Just before the village of Le Rivier the gradient reaches 10%, but you can then rest your legs on a flat part followed by a downhill section. You then have a long climb up to the Col de la Croix de Fer.
On the way back down, make a detour to the Col du Glandon to admire the view. Once back at the Lac du Verney, take the road to Vaujany.
This is a long ride, so ask the rental outlet for advice about battery life and schedule a stop to recharge.
