Day 10 - Villard Reymond - up and back down - 32km
Starting from Bourg dOisans (el. 755m), cycle 16km to Villard Reymond (el 1,721 m) with 13.09km of climbing, ascending 966 vertical meters, an ave of 7.3% and a max of 12%. Only one way down, so it is an out 'n back 32km ride.
A steep incline in the hairpin bends makes
the climb to Villard Reymond quite strenuous, but you can enjoy
the slog in complete serenity. Villard Reymond is
where Genepi (aromatic Alpine plants) is grown and its grains
are sold locally.
Out in the boondocks!!!
