Cycling loop: La Petite Chartreuse

Sport, Cycling sports, Cycle tourism route in Chambéry
58.1 km

Very difficult

  • This superb loop through the Chartreuse goes over no fewer than 4 mountain ridges - Pas de la Fosse, the north face of the Granier, Vallée des Entremonts and Pas du Frou from Corbel - and includes some breath-taking views.

  • A magnificent loop starting from Chambéry to discover the Chartreuse massif and its relief. After a steady climb up to the Col du Granier from Chambéry, with views of the town and Lac du Bourget, a short descent takes you into the Entremonts valley. The ascent of the Col de la Cluse then takes you to the small village of Corbel, before returning to Chambéry via the Col des Egaux.
