04 - balcon de tarentaise
A circuit that is within everyone's reach, which may seem surprising when you look at a map of the Alps. However, the valley floors can be amazingly flat. What is more, the return leg is along a true greenway, set off by a small lake.

06 - col du petit saint-bernard
One of the most pleasant high passes to climb. Thanks to the even gradient and the flat hairpins, the ascent never feels too strenuous, even though the summit is above 2000 m. Exceptional views of the glaciated summits of the Vanoise.
