Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Albertville do Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne

This ride kicks off in Albertville, a lively town known as the gateway to the French Alps and famous for hosting the 1992 Winter Olympics. You’ll pedal south, weaving through idyllic alpine valleys on mostly quiet roads and the occasional cycleway—a serene escape from traffic.

It’s a solid day in the saddle, covering just over 79 km with plenty of climbing: expect around 1,000 meters of ascent as the route steadily takes you up and down through stunning mountain scenery. The tarmac is good for a third of the way, but do be ready for mixed surfaces—keep an eye out for some rougher tracks and the odd gravel path, especially in more rural stretches.

You’ll end your adventure in Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, a small town revered by cyclists as the “Capital of the Maurienne Valley”—and a legendary stop on many Tour de France routes. Grab a post-ride treat at a local café and soak up the alpine vibes. This is a real classic if you love a challenge and mountain vistas!
