Boucle Cyclo : Les Hauts d'Esserts-Blay

Leaving from the Olympic city, you'll find yourself at an adventurous pace on this first part of the route. And with good reason: it's all flat! And yet the slopes around you are so steep... You pass pretty garden plots and old middle-class homes. If you're brave enough, you can pedal on to the town of Conflans, overlooking Albertville. A little further on, you'll pass by the unique Savoie caves d'affinage, which are open to the public on Heritage Days. It's a pity your musette bag is so small, as the Beaufort cheese may be a little cramped! Passing through the thermal park of La Léchère, take a mid-tour break at the Morel waterfalls, a real refreshing stop. On the way back, keep your pedal to the metal to reach the heights of Esserts Blay and its 15th-century château, part of which has been renovated. On a clear day, you'll have a fine view of the Grand Mont and the Grand Arc behind you.
