With thanks to the organisation, this climb has been added to my nomination. Under the motto 'If you are in the valley of St. Gervais-les-Bains, pick this one up'.
Starting point is near the train station and starting point of Tramway du Mont Blanc. The first 5 km are well paved but also busy at the known moments. After the town of St. Gervais-les-Bains, with enough terraces to enjoy the scenery and life, the traffic decreases.
On the right you see the Mont Joly (1.525 mtr.) and on the left the 4.000-ers loom up like the Aiguille de Bionnassay with behind it (not visible) the Mont Blanc.
At La Chapelle you leave the main road to continue the climb along quiet hamlets.
After the lift there is a roundabout where you go straight on. At the last parking place you can continue for another 100 meters to get to the chapel of Notre Dame de la Gorge and light a candle for a safe return. There you can choose between going back the same way or turning right at the roundabout and going through Les Contamines-Montjoie on the main road.

Met dank aan de organisatie is deze klim op mijn voordracht toegevoegd. Onder het motto 'Als je in het dal van St. Gervais-les-Bains bent, pik deze dan mee'.
Startpunt is in de buurt van het treinstation en beginpunt van Tramway du Mont Blanc. De eerste 5 km zijn goed geasfalteerd maar ook druk bereden op de bekende momenten. Na het stadje St. Gervais-les-Bains, met voldoende terrassen om even van de omgeving en het leven te genieten, neemt de drukte af.
Rechts zie je de Mont Joly (1.525 mtr.) en links doemen de 4.000-ers op zoals de Aiguille de Bionnassay met daarachter (niet zichtbaar) de Mont Blanc.
Ter hoogte van La Chapelle ga je van de hoofdweg af om langs rustig gelegen gehuchtjes de beklimming te vervolgen.
Na de lift volgt een rotonde waar je rechtdoor gaat. Bij de laatste parkeerplaats kun je nog 100 mtr. doorfietsen om bij de Kapel van de Notre Dame de la Gorge te komen en daar een kaarsje op te steken voor een behouden terugkeer. Daarbij kun je kiezen tussen dezelfde weg terug of bij de rotonde rechts en dan door Les Contamines-Montjoie over de hoofdweg.
