Cycling day trip from Bourg-Saint-Maurice to Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne

Kick-off your epic cycling adventure in the charming town of Bourg-Saint-Maurice, a beloved spot for winter sports aficionados nestled in the heart of the French Alps. This is not just any cycling route; it’s a breath-taking journey that pairs Mother Nature's sheer beauty with a dash of adrenaline.

Starting off, you’ll tackle a mix of track and quiet roads, relishing the serenity as you pedal through lush landscapes. Although nearly half of the journey’s surface remains a mystery, embrace the surprise of what lies ahead! With around 37% of the ride on asphalt and another chunk on gravel, it promises just enough variety to keep things interesting.

Keep your eyes peeled as you ascend - yes, that’s right, you’ll climb all the way up to an altitude of 2,990 meters! But don’t worry, for every uphill grind, there’s a rewarding descent, with a descent total slightly higher than the ascent. Wind down your exhilarating escapade in Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne, known for its historical charm and the gateway to the awe-inspiring Vanoise National Park. Here's to rolling mountain vistas and a ride to remember!
