Local climbs are an ideal way to start your trip, they can be used to acclimatize to the environment and as a base to build upon as your trip progresses. We have several easier cols close by that link well with the Col du Telegraph allowing a good return ride to base. Our experience tells us this is a great way to start!
As the week progresses tackle multiple cols in a day. There are many possibilities on our doorstep and also some further afield where you may want to use the car to get you to the foot of the climb. Our local knowledge ensures we always know the best places for you to stop along the way.
Many cycle sportives are organised in the Alps each spring and summer several are held close to our chalet and others are accessible by car. We are in an ideal position for the events, or just for some long training weekends.
