Day 1: Tour of Petit Saint-Bernard via Col de la Seigne
Meeting point in La Thuile for departure towards the Tour of Petit Saint-Bernard through Col de la Seigne. From La Thuile, we'll ascend toward Col de la Seigne on a road that gradually becomes a mule track, requiring a short push in the final stretch. Once at Col de la Seigne, riders will need to showcase their technical skills for the descent into Bourg Saint Maurice in the Isère Valley. Here, we'll take a lunch break and recharge the e-bikes before continuing the ride on paved and dirt roads leading to the Col du Petit Saint-Bernard. Skirting Lake Verney, we'll descend towards La Thuile on a beautiful and fun flow trail from LA THUILE BIKE WORLD, returning to town.
