Cycling loop: Circuit de la Cochette

This "valley" loop is surprising in more ways than one: as it doesn't take the main roads, it lets you take it easy on the small secondary roads that are so pleasant for silky-smooth pedaling. It also combines small, more demanding sectors without really putting you in the red. And it's also an opportunity to "make a pass" so dear to cyclists, the Cochette pass, where you can take a break and have a look at the two main towns of the Coeur de Savoie, Montmélian and Valgelon-La-Rochette. Between the Bauges and the Belledonne, you'll be surprised by the difference in atmosphere between the slopes of this small intra-valley massif known as "Montraillant". The route passes through small, isolated hamlets where pastoralism is still present with its large farms and lush green pastures.
