About this route
The closest Alpine ride from Geneva,this ride takes in the tour de France ascent/descent of the Plateau des Glières. Throw in the gravel road across the plateau and the steep banks on the way up and down, and you've got an awesome gruelling day ride.
Do the ride in either direction. The climb from Petit Bornard is even steeper than the Thorens side and afterwards you ride over another 900+ meter col before descending into La Roche sur Foron,
