This superb section of the cycle path on the edge of the Romanche allows you to reach Le Bourg-d'Oisans in complete peace of mind. It offers splendid panoramas.

Villard-Notre-Dame Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

For this ride it is absolutely necessary to have good lighting on your bike. Of the 4 tunnels, 2 are so dark that you can't see your hand in front of your face.

Villard-Notre-Dame

Highlight • Settlement

Very nice little mountain village.
There should be a bar but it was closed.
On the way there there are 2 ways to fill up with water.

At 1,680 meters above sea level, the Col du Solude offers a 360° view of the Grandes Rousses Massif. The climb is not the easiest (on one side or the other) but the panorama at the pass is a real reward!

Solude Pass

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

One of my favourite climbs in the area. There are four short unlit tunnels 1km out of Bourg on the start of the climb and they're quite poorly surfaced, especially the final one, so it's best to do this one with a decent set of lights. Lot of people stop and turn around at the village when the tarmac stops but I think the gravel section is the best bit - it's about 2.5km long to the top and is do-able on a road bike. Once you start to descend it's worth a detour to the cafe in Villard Reymond - the L'Eau Blanche.
