Mont Thabor

Mont Thabor (3176 m above sea level) is a famous hike in the Bardonecchia region. If you are prepared to shoulder your bike up to the impressive summit with its chapel, you will be rewarded with a sensational singletrail descent.

Description

The tour to Mont Thabor ideally starts at the "Granges de la Val Etroite" alp, which can be easily reached by car and where there are also parking facilities. The ascent begins with a stretch of gravel road, which then leads up the mountain to the left. Keep straight on here and head towards Col Vallée Etroite on a singletrail. The bike is often already on your shoulders here, but occasionally you can also push or even ride. At the pass, turn right and later pass the Lac du Peyron. From now on, the bike rests on your shoulders until you reach the summit. This is always easy to recognize by the chapel. The climb is tough, tiring but worthwhile. The view from the summit and the barren area of yellow stone is simply stunning.
The descent then initially leads to the Col des Meandes via the ascent route, in a few places the bike has to be pushed, the rest is pure riding fun for experienced mountain bikers. At the pass, turn left onto the singletrail towards Bardonecchia. The descent is now rougher but still a lot of fun. You pass the plateau and later reach the valley floor. If you have parked your car here, you can take it back to Bardonecchia. Otherwise, another highlight awaits with the singletrail on the left bank of the Rio di Valle Stretta. You will later reach the road a little above Bardonecchia and roll along it back to the center of Bardonecchia.

Da man den viel tragen muss habe ich diesmal den Aufstieg wie Abfahrt gemacht, spart man sich 5km Strecke.....
