A Challenge by Bike From Modane: Lake of Plan of Aval - My Stay in the Mountains

At first glance, the Plan d'Aval lake could go unnoticed in the Alpine Pass catalogue, yet this confidential ascent deserves the attention of experienced cyclists. Accessible from Modane by several variants, it climbs up to more than 2,000 meters above sea level, offering a spectacular final at 9% average. At the end, it crosses a territory rich in military, religious and natural heritage, from the Esseillon barrier to the Vanoise National Park.
