In the heart of the 3-Valleys area, the Col de la Loze links the resorts of M\u00e9ribel and Courchevel.<\/p>\n
\nAt an altitude of 2,304\u00a0m, it’s only accessible by bike or on foot.
\nWell known for its difficulty level, the ascent can be made via the slopes of M\u00e9ribel or Courchevel (the more accessible option).<\/p>\n
\nThe Col de la Loze was the playground of cycling pros at the Tour de l\u2019Avenir in 2019, a legendary stage at the 2020 Tour de France and seems to be on the bucket list of an ever-increasing number of cycling enthusiasts.<\/p>\n
\nDeparting from Brides-les-Bains, the route takes you just over 22\u00a0kilometres towards the Col de la Loze (featuring 1,715\u00a0metres of elevation with some sections having a 20% gradient!). <\/p>\n
