Col du Granier: A peaks-and-valleys cycling adventure in France
Let’s take a ride, shall we? We’re heading to Col du Granier, a hidden gem in the French Alps. Situated in the Haute-Savoie region, this beauty is a must-visit for any cycling enthusiast.
Welcome to the Col du Granier
Col du Granier is a 1,328-meter high pass, nestled between the villages of Saint-Jean-de-Sixt and Samoëns. The Col is a less popular alternative to its more famous neighbors, but it’s certainly no less stunning.
The climb begins
The climb to Col du Granier is around 12 kilometers long, with an average gradient of 6%. But don’t let the numbers fool you – the journey is every bit as challenging and rewarding as it sounds.
As you begin your ascent, you’ll be greeted by quiet, windy roads that wind through lush forests and meadows, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains.
The summit awaits
After sweating it out (and maybe cursing a few times), you’ll reach the summit. It might not be as crowded as other cols, but it’s still a triumphant feeling. The view from the top is unbeatable – a panorama of the French Alps stretching out before you, with turquoise lakes and green forests at your feet.
The descent and beyond
The descent is a thrill-seeker’s dream. With sharp hairpin turns, the road steadily winds back down into the valley. Keep those brakes in check and let your inner speed demon loose!
In conclusion
Col du Granier is a lesser-known but no-less-worthy addition to any cycling bucket list. So why not swing by the next time you’re touring the French Alps? You won’t regret the challenge or the views. Bon voyage, and happy cycling!
