Pass above Villard-Reymond. Be careful, turn left just before entering the village! This officially listed but little-known pass offers a breathtaking view of the 21 bends of Alpe d'Huez!!! Not to be missed!

The bike path is not accessible throughout because the river has washed away parts of it. It is also not crossable on foot.

One of my favourite climbs in the area. There are four short unlit tunnels 1km out of Bourg on the start of the climb and they're quite poorly surfaced, especially the final one, so it's best to do this one with a decent set of lights. Lot of people stop and turn around at the village of Villard Notre Dam when the tarmac stops but if you keep going, I think the gravel section is the best bit - it's about 2.5km long to the top and it's do-able on a road bike - and if you're lucky you might see a marmot or two, especially if you ride it in the morning. Once you start to descend it's worth a detour to the cafe in Villard Reymond - the L'Eau Blanche.

Lac de Buclet is a beautiful lake with crystal-clear water. The paths, seating areas, and viewing platforms are very well designed.

No longer accessible since February 2025 due to landslides - traffic is closed in one direction but not the other. Be careful as the direction of the hike is not indicated.
