21 Bends Loop

Cycling Route

Details
38.61 km

This is simply the 21 bends but you descend via Via Villard Reculas. This gives you the Pas de la Confession balcony road which is pretty cool, as well as a warm up on the flat down the bottom before you start the bends. Enjoy!

Things can get a little confusing on the cycle path. You take the first left at the footbridge, and then turn left across a larger bridge shortly after. However if you get on the cycle path and don't take any of the bridges it will pop you out at the bottom of the Col d'Ornon and then you can just carry on through Bour d'Oisans. This is still a much better idea than the main road!
