BONUS MOUNTAINS

Possibility Of Further Altitude Meters

"If you suddenly feel you have surprisingly strong legs, and have the energy to climb additional mountains after stage 1 and 3, we give you the opportunity to conquer some BONUS MOUNTAINS. It is not part of the official routes and if you choose to ride, always inform your coaches and fellow riders before departure"

The first BONUS MOUNTAIN is after the 1st stage and it can eventually be driven after arriving back in Les Gets. The riders who consider to take on extra challenges should ride down to the start of the back road and up the COL DE LA RAMAZ from the Taninges side meaning opposite that first climb of stage 1. It is an 8.6 km climb with an average gradient of 7.3%.

Another alternative is the ride up to COL DE JOUX PLANE via the back side, which you have just driven down. A 10.3 km climb with an average of 6.7%.

The second BONUS MOUNTAIN is LA ROSIÉRE, a Tour de France mountain, which, however, is not included in this year's route. It starts from Bourg Saint Maurice and in the roundabout we reached after the descent from CORMET DE ROSELEND.

Here you take the 3rd exit and onto the D1090 and continue towards PIED DE COL and SÉEZ, from where the climb starts. Take the ROUTE DU PETIT SAINTBERNARD up through the winding roads. There are two routes up to the summit LA ROSIÉRE at 1,855 meters high. One way is 17.6 km up with a 5.8% average grade. Here you ride 1,018 of altitude meters.

The second route is 22 km and with approximately 4.8% average gradient.

Drive to the hotel to celebrate a BONUS MOUNTAIN and additional meters of elevation gains. The 17.6 km Strava route with the bonus climb starts from the Hotel Base Camp and goes to the summit of LA ROSIÉRE via the official Tour de France route. The return road takes the less steep but slightly longer route back to the hotel.
