Road biking inthe Alps: Chamonix to the Col des Aravis over the Col de la Colombiere
Passing at Megeve
One of the best courses/trips we can do in Road Bike starting from Chamonix Mont Blanc. And it's also a classic. With two of the most legendary passes/cols of the Alps and the Tour de France, the Col des Aravis and Col de la Colombiere.
From Chamonix, you must know that you can not take the highway, you must follow Les Houches and subsequently descend via Voudagne. The rest of the course/tour is super easy to find, just follow the good guidance on road signs.
Col des Aravis and Col of Colombiere : Chamonix Mont Blanc Road Bike
1km to the Col des Aravis
It is a very nice tour/trip with two beautiful passes/cols. If you do it in July or August, you must pay attention to the heat and cars in the road. We did it in 6.30h all around Chamonix - Col des Aravis - Col de la Colombieres - Chamonix, in some cool mind and no stress pace.
You can do it in the opposite sense, but the way up to the Col de la Combière it's much harder.
We wish you a good trip!
