AROUND GRAND SERRE
A nice loop from Nantes-en-Rattier around the Grand-Serre - Tabor mountain range, via the Malissol mountain pass, the Roizonne valley and the Alpe du Grand Serre resort, followed by the Romanche valley and the Matheysin plateau. Some portions are very easy to ride, but there are also 3 ascents that your calves are sure to remember! This ride features a segment of the 5th stage of the 2014 race «Critérium du Dauphiné».
Once you exit Nantes-en-Rattier, the climb of the Malissol mountain pass (category 3, 2.2 km at an 8.8% slope) begins. At the top, you get a commanding view over the Roizonne valley and the Matheysin plateau and a superb panoramic view of the Obiou (south) and the Coiro (east). Thereafter, you will enjoy a long and easy downhill ride to Moulin-Vieux (Old Mill), where the climb of the La Morte mountain pass awaits you, on the grounds of the Alpe du Grand Serre resort. You will then descend a steep winding road to Saint-Barthélémy-deSéchilienne and then climb up to Laffrey through woods via the challenging Côte de Laffrey (6.3 km at a 6.2% slope). In Laffrey turn left at the traffic light to Cholonge, then to Villard Saint Christophe by a small road very rural. In Villard Saint Christophe turn right and follow cycle sign
