There is a recently constructed cycle path to the top. It's whimsical, but truly beautiful. The path was built as part of the plan to connect Les Trois Vallées. Since then, the Col de la Loze has played a decisive role in the Tour de France several times. The local Granfondo is wonderful and is quickly gaining popularity. Do you want to participate and be well prepared at the start? Then choose us Granfondo Col de la Loze package! We offer this in collaboration with Chalet Beyond. Are you there?

ARRIVAL
You arrive at the beautiful hotel les Chalets in Brides-les-bains. Make yourself comfortable, grab a bite to eat and enjoy the surroundings.
Get your bike ready and if you still have time to spare, stretch your legs with a short ride towards Courchevel via the 'balcony route'.
Your adventure has begun!

Le Liasonnay
We'll start slowly. Your body has just completed a day of travel and still needs to get used to the altitude and climate. Moreover, we are looking for climbing legs, and the climb to Le Liasonnay is ideal for that. Are you looking for a shorter or less challenging route? Then ask us about the Courchevel-Méribel route.
The climb to Le Liasonnay is a 'back and forth'. That is why we take a different route to Brides-les-Bains on the way back. When you return, take a dip in the pool and recover for the next day!
Col: Le Liasonnay
Ride: 52km
Friday July 17
Val Thorens
This is the last day that you can take on a big challenge, so that you arrive at the start on Sunday in top form. We descend to Moûtiers and take the alternative route towards Val Thorens, the highest ski area of the Three Vallées. The climb is somewhat irregular in the beginning, but later becomes more consistent. We therefore advise you to take it easy; the length of the climb and this ride alone will tire you out enough! Of course you can leave things in the support car that travels with us.
Do you want a slightly shorter ride? Then the Col du Tra is recommended: a steady, mild and typical Alpine climb. You then cycle back via the 'balcony route' on the other side of the valley.
Col: Montée des Belleville / Val Thorens
Ride: 77 km
Saturday July 18
Rest day
You can opt for a full rest day or a relaxing 'coffee ride'. For those who still want to pedal for a few hours, we will take you to Pralognan. This is a relatively easy climb. We cycle back to Brides-les-Bains and the cycling hotel via the other side of the valley. A quick dip in the pool, put your legs up and eat and drink well!
Get your things ready, choose your clothes and prepare your sports nutrition. Then you can go to sleep with peace of mind. Your big goal awaits you tomorrow: the Granfondo Col de la Loze!
Col: Pralognan
Ride: 52 km
