A very quiet, steady climb up a cul de sac to the village of Montouvrard. Nice views of Allevard and the Flumet basin at the start, which is in the forest. Once in the meadows, the view is of the ridge running from the Collet d'Allevard to the Grand Charnier, and the Bauges in the distance. The tarmac is good for the first 2 kilometres, then uneven.

A very quiet, steady climb up a cul de sac to the village of Montouvrard. Nice views of Allevard and the Flumet basin at the start, which is in the forest. Once in the meadows, the view is of the ridge running from the Collet d'Allevard to the Grand Charnier, and the Bauges in the distance. The tarmac is good for the first 2 kilometres, then uneven. The descent requires vigilance as it can be tricky, with gravel, plant debris, ruts, etc. So I don't allow myself to pick up too much speed.

Montée très calme et régulière en cul de sac jusqu'au village de Montouvrard. Jolies vues sur Allevard et le bassin du Flumet au début, qui se passe en forêt. Une fois dans les prairies la vue porte sur la crête allant du Collet d'Allevard au Grand Charnier, et au loin sur les Bauges. Le bitume est de bonne qualité sur les 2 premiers kilomètres, puis irrégulier. La descente demande de la vigilance car pouvant être piégeuse, avec une présence de graviers, débris végétaux, ornières...Je ne me permets donc pas de prendre trop de vitesse.
