Fresh off the plane from Australia, this was a good climb to start with - the bike is going well and so are the legs

The longest of the 4 possible climbing routes to Verrogne cycled September 2024.
You start via the busy Great St Bernard route to climb out of Aosta via the first hairpin bends. At the roundabout, turn left for a long fairly straight uphill road, with which the city sinks below you, with a lot less traffic.
A few hairpin bends bring you to Arpuilles where you cycle loose through the village centre past the little church.
The whole route follows the northern flank of the Aosta valley.
Mostly slightly winding stretches interrupted by a few hairpins to continue parallel to the valley at a higher level through small villages with a few houses.
Wonderful views of greater Aosta with the river and the route towards Courmayeur/Mont Blanc tunnel and the snow-capped peaks of the Gran Paradiso National Park peeking over the southern flank on the other side.
There is a welcome descending section after 10km of climbing although of course you have to pay for it afterwards to regain the lost altitude.
End point is modest village with church and water source.

practical:
hardly any traffic,
little shade,
variable asphalt quality but nowhere very bad,
you can use the other routes to the same end point to descend again.
little provisioning.

Long beautiful climb following the Aosta valley westwards on the valley flank!

De langste van de 4 mogelijke beklimmingsroutes naar Verrogne gefietst september 2024.
Je start via de drukke Grote St. Bernard route om Aosta via de eerste haarspeldbochten uit te klimmen. Aan de rotonde gaat het linksaf voor een lange vrij recht klimmende weg, waarmee de stad onder je wegzinkt, met een pak minder verkeer.
Paar haarspeldbochten brengen je tot Arpuilles waar je los door het dorpscentrum langs het kerkje fietst.
Heel de route volgt de noordelijke flank van de Aosta vallei .
Meestal licht kronkelende stukken onderbroken door paar haarspeldbochten om op een hoger niveau weer evenwijdig met het dal verder te fietsen door kleine dorpjes met een paar huizen.
Prachtig zicht op groot Aosta met de rivier en de route richting Courmayeur/Mont Blanc tunnel en de besneeuwde pieken van het Nationaal Park Gran Paradiso die boven de zuidflank aan de overkant komen piepen.
Er is een welgekomen dalend deel na 10km klimmen alhoewel je dat achteraf natuurlijk moet bekopen om de verloren hoogte terug te winnen.
Eindpunt is bescheiden dorp met kerkje en waterbron.

praktisch:
amper verkeer,
weinig schaduw,
wisselende asfaltkwaliteit maar nergens heel slecht,
je kan van de andere routes naar zelfde eindpunt gebruik maken om terug af te dalen.
weinig bevoorradingsmogelijkheid.

Lange mooie klim die westwaarts op de valleiflank het Aosta dal volgt!
