Day dedicated to discover the highest mountain in Europe.
You will cycle along the two valleys embracing Mont Blanc.
Both of them are scenic, and they will require commitment and effort, immediately rewarded by the stunning view that we will enjoy from the top.
We will start with Val Veny, and after facing the first hard ramps, we will arrive at the foot of the Brenva glacier.
The second one, instead, is Val Ferret, which gives a gentler ride, alternating with tough sections, where you can enjoy a splendid view of Gran Jorasses massif.
