Cycling day trip from Bourg-Saint-Maurice to Val d'Isère

Hey there, cycling enthusiasts! If you're looking for a scenic and challenging ride in the heart of the French Alps, I've got just the route for you. Start off in the charming town of Bourg-Saint-Maurice. Nestled in the Savoie department, this place is a popular spot for outdoor adventurers with its picturesque views and charming café-lined streets.

Your journey spans just under 40 kilometers, heading towards the renowned ski resort town of Val d'Isère. Be prepared for some serious climbing with an ascent of over 2,450 meters, bringing you to a max elevation of nearly 1,879 meters. Yep, you're in for a glorious workout!

The ride is a delightful mix of quiet roads, paths, and the occasional busy road to keep things interesting. Almost half of the path is on the smooth asphalt, perfect for enjoying the breathtaking alpine scenery. More than half the surface details remain an exciting mystery to discover along the way, so be ready for anything Mother Nature might throw at you.

Your adventure concludes in Val d'Isère, a superb destination for ski aficionados, with stunning mountain vistas and cozy après-ski hotspots to relax those tired muscles. Enjoy the ride! 🚴‍♂️🏔️
