This beautiful short almost literally hidden climb starts with left exiting the main road (towards Val d'Isère) between the succession of tunnels along the big Lac du Chevril. More specifically in the short open-air section between 1 th and 2 th tunnel just after you pass the D87A exit to Tignes.
At the start you cycle past the only cottages on the route in Villaret. Afterwards, the only narrow access road to the desolate protected Nature Reserve la Grande Sassière climbs briskly up the mountainside. Road winds with irregular (sometimes +10) percentages between rock formations and along vertical walls. The terminus in Le Saut, with its small parking area at the small reservoir and uninhabited stone house, is the start of high-mountain hikes for hikers.
They are therefore the only traffic. The tarmac is a patchwork but the panoramic views of the large lake and the snow-capped mountain ranges of Tignes opposite are unforgettable.
Very short beautiful pure nature climb. Thanks Climbfinder!!!
This aside: I was wondering if the riders of Jumbo Visma,regularly on stage in Tignes,ever cycled up here?
Deze prachtige korte bijna letterlijk verborgen klim start met links verlaten van de grote weg (richting Val d'Isère) tussen de opeenvolging van tunnels langs het grote Lac du Chevril. Meer specifiek in het kort openluchtdeel tussen 1 ste (Tunnel de Chevril 460m) en 2 de tunnel vlak nadat je de afslag D87A naar Tignes bent voorbij gereden.
Bij het begin fiets je in Villaret de enige huisjes op de route voorbij. Nadien klimt de enige smalle toegangsweg naar het desolate beschermd Natuurreservaat la Grande Sassière stevig omhoog de bergflank op. Weg slingert zich met onregelmatige (soms +10%) percentages tussen rotsformaties en langs verticale wanden. Eindpunt in Le Saut met kleine parking thv klein stuwmeertje en onbewoond stenen huis, is voor wandelaars de start van hooggebergte wandelingen.
Ze zijn dan ook het enige verkeer. Het asfalt is een lappendeken maar de panoramische uitzichten op het grote meer en de besneeuwde bergketens van Tignes aan de overzijde zijn onvergetelijk.
Zeer korte prachtige puur natuur klim. Bedankt Climbfinder!!!
Dit geheel terzijde: Ik vroeg mij af of de renners van Jumbo Visma,regelmatig op stage in Tignes ,hier ooit omhoog fietsten?
