This route is all front loaded. The first 3km climb 200 meters, things are then a bit easier, another 200m over 4.5km to bring the total distance to 7.5km with the descent just 1.

More for fun, we hired the Col de Porte rollerski track for a Saturday morning session of skating and exercises.

I'd been thinking about this climb and the logistics. In the end I drove over the col and left a bike then parked at Tencin and climbed up on classic rollerskis.

Spring training with Yves and Valentin. Started with some rollerskiing. First V1 without poles but same arm action, trying to plant ski flat and glide for as long as possible.

DescriptionThere is a small, 1.3 km loop through the woods and a biathlon shooting range. The loop has a short climb that is quite hard if you repeat the loop.
