Les Deux Alpes - La Bérarde by e-bike
Description
This route enables you to explore the resort of Les Deux Alpes, before visiting St Christophe via the Venosc cable car and, finally, La Bérarde - an iconic mountaineering village with magnificent scenery.
ROUTE
Ride through Les Deux Alpes and head for the Venosc cable car (enquire first to check you can take road bikes). Once at the car park at the bottom of the cable car, follow the signs to St Christophe/ La Bérarde. Just after Bourg d'Arud, an 11% gradient over 3 km comes out at the Plan du Lac. You can then get your breath back cycling alongside the turquoise waters of the Vénéon River, before tackling another series of switchbacks (11% over 3 km) to reach Saint Christophe en Oisans. A balcony road then takes you effortlessly into La Bérarde, where you will be greeted by one of the most spectacular landscapes in the Alps, including the imposing south-west face of the Ecrins (4,102m). The return is the same route.
