August 31, 2024,Aosta: Col des Chavannes, einfache runde mit technischen Startschwierigkeiten

Nice, relaxed e-mountain bike tour over the Col des Chavannes.

After we cycled the ultimate awesome tour yesterday, there was hardly any way to top it in the Aosta area. At my buddy's request, today it was to be an easier round. More in the S1 range than S2. For the inexperienced biker, the last two days were understandably quite …

Breathtaking scenery 🤩
Difficult descent from the Chavanne pass (you can push it)

September 18, 2022,La Thuile - Colle Chavannes

Departure from the Du Parc campsite, between Morgex and Pre Saint Didier, an excellent base for several tours in the area. Climb on asphalt towards La Thuile, sweet and excellent for warming up the leg. Also because shortly after the town of La Thuile you turn right and you start to get serious. Always on asphalt with slopes between 12 …

Ring route, starting from La Thuile, covering the entire Val Chavannes and Val Veny, returning to La Thuile.
From La Thuile take the SS26 state road up to the deviation, just before Pont Serrand, which leads to Val Chavannes. The road to the Le Lapin farmhouse is asphalted, uphill and with a good slope. When you arrive at the farmhouse, …

Magnificent tour! Shortcut of the full tour from Courmayeur. The first part of the descent is not very rideable and exposed... the rest is pleasant and above all a magnificent view 🤩
