Road cycling in Vaujany
Col du Sabot
Some say that the Col du Sabot is one of the 5 toughest climbs in Isère. Start at the foot of Vaujany, in Le Verney, pass through every hamlet in the commune and then reach the heart of the resort. After taking a deep breath, climb the Col. At the top, you can admire the Grand’Maison dam and the panoramic view over Vaujany… on a clear day, you can even see Mont Blanc!
Col du Glandon – Col de la Croix de Fer
From the valley, head for Le Verney, the gateway to Vaujany. From here, head for Rivier d’Allemont. After a few hours’ climb, you’ll reach the summit of two of the world’s legendary cycling passes.
Try a 100% gourmet cycling holiday
With a reference cycling event – La Vaujany -, the Tour de France, the Oisans Col Series and now the GFNY Alpes-Vaujany for the second year running, the resort has become a mecca for cyclists and offers some of the most beautiful rides in the Alps.
Fascinated by the little Queen themselves, our accommodation providers have had the idea of offering a real stopover dedicated to mountain bikers and other cyclists.
