Savoie Mont Blanc cycling map available from the tourist office.
The traverse of the Beaufortain takes you over the Cormet de Roselend and down past Roselend reservoir to Beaufort and Albertville. SNCF summer rail offers, which give unlimited train travel throughout Savoie, greatly facilitate this type of A-to-B ride.
We set off from Bourg-Saint-Maurice to climb the famous Cormet de Roselend. The twenty-kilometer ascent is well worth the effort, but offers sumptuous panoramic views over the Vanoise and the start of the Mont-Blanc chain with the Aiguille des Glaciers. At the pass, take time to observe the marmots before descending to the lake of the Roselend dam, where you may come across a few Tarines, the famous cows that provide the milk for the prince of cheeses: Beaufort! Don't hesitate to stop off at one of the dairy sites offering tastings of this delicious cheese! The descent continues towards Albertville.
To complete the Beaufortain crossing, take advantage of the public transport in Albertville, which allows you to return conveniently to Bourg-Saint-Maurice.
