Under the motto 'If you're 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 familiar times. After the town of St Gervais-les-Bains, with plenty of terraces to enjoy the scenery and life for a while, the crowds diminish.
On the right you can see Mont Joly (1,525 m) and on the left the 4,000ers loom up like the Aiguille de Bionnassay with Mont Blanc behind it (not visible).
Near La Chapelle, you turn off the main road to continue the climb past quiet hamlets.
After the lift, there is a roundabout where you continue straight ahead. At the last car park you can continue for another 100 metres to reach the Chapel of Notre Dame de la Gorge where you can light a candle for a safe return. When doing so, you can choose between returning the same way or turning right at the roundabout and then through Les Contamines-Montjoie on the main road.
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.
