Road bike the Alps! Chamonix to Emossom Dam (Switzerland) & back to Chamonix
Road biking near Chamonix
This road bike tour, from Chamonix to the Emosson Dam is probably the most beautiful tour nearby Chamonix Mont Blanc. It's challenging but very beautiful. The views that you have from the Col des Montets and the Emosson Dam are simply breathtaking.
But as we said before, this tour is hard. The ascent to the Emosson Dam is long and very steep. You should do a bit of mountain pass or extra kilometer training before you attempt it.
Another interesting point of this trip, is that the road that takes you to the Emosson's Dam has very little traffic.
This trip is a must!
