A very short and gentle climb to tackle between two thunderstorms… But in reality, unless you’re staying in Les Allues, you’ll probably be coming from Brides-les-Bains, and you’ll still have to climb 7 km first on the road leading to the Col de la Loze via Méribel. A major road with gradients ranging from 7 to 10%. This makes this little ride a 9-km climb. This small road starting in Les Allues is in perfect condition. You wind your way through the chalets for 2 kilometers. A long villa... read more

A very short and gentle climb to tackle between two thunderstorms…
But in reality, unless you’re staying in Les Allues, you’ll probably be coming from Brides-les-Bains, and you’ll still have to climb 7 km first on the road leading to the Col de la Loze via Méribel. A major road with gradients ranging from 7 to 10%. This makes this little ride a 9-km climb.
This small road starting in Les Allues is in perfect condition. You wind your way through the chalets for 2 kilometers. A long village street…
A ribbon of opulent chalets. And construction is still underway. We’re so close to Méribel… A quiet road. An easy climb. At the top, the old village is charming but dwarfed by the recently built chalets. A 16th-century church. A view of the mountain ranges. An 18th-century bread oven that’s still used during village festivals. And a splendid Berlinette, the Alpine A110, slumbering in a barn… This climb had neither photos nor comments. Well. There you go…

Une montée très courte et très douce à faire entre deux orages…
Mais, en réalité, à moins d’être basé aux Allues, vous viendrez probablement de Brides Les Bains et il vous faudra tout de même d’abord grimper 7km sur la route qui mène au col de la Loze par Méribel. Une grande route dont les pourcentages oscillent entre 7 et 10%. Ce qui fait de cette petite balade, une montée de 9km.
Cette petite route qui démarre aux Allues est en parfait état. On navigue entre les chalets pendant 2 kilomètres. Un long village rue…
Un ruban de chalets cossus. Et ça continue à construire. On est si près de Méribel…Route calme. Ascension facile. En haut, le vieux village est charmant mais noyé par les chalets récemment érigés. Une église du 16e siècle. Une vue sur les chaînes montagneuses. Un four à pain du 18e siècle qui sert encore lors des fêtes villageoises. Et une splendide Berlinette, l’Alpine A110 qui sommeille dans une grange… Cette côte n’avait ni photos, ni commentaires. Bon. Voilà…
