October 19, 2025, Rock Tunnel on the ViaRhôna

Be careful when going through the tunnel, you don't necessarily see the other bikes, otherwise the scenery is very pleasant.

The tight switchbacks are tough, and the last one gets really steep. At midday, it's sunny without much shade. Always drink plenty of water.
