Description
There are several major climbs on this loop. The first takes you to the summit of the Col de la Croix via Barboleuse and Taveyanne. You then take a rough tarmac road to Les Diablerets and climb to the Col d'Isenau through pastures, with magnificent views.
You have to walk for the last few ...
Practical information
OUR ADVICE
- After the summit of the Isenau pass, you have to walk downhill for 2km before finding a road suitable for cycling. Your reward: a magnificent view of the surrounding peaks.
- Several of the climbs are steep, so you'll need to plan ahead. You'll also be more comfortable with 40-45mm tyres.
- A stop at L'Etivaz (km 45) is a must. Not only because you're halfway there, but also to sample the eponymous cheese at the Maison de L'Etivaz.
