Go - Za

In the morning we didn’t think about it. But later in the afternoon it was obvious -The Alps are now gone! Here’s the route for the day 15.
At first it was the big road (but not boring!) to north and Briancon-town and still after that the big road continues until Col du Galibier. We did ride this just few days earlier (Day 10) and I think it was a good idea to come here again! It is a great mountain Pass!



On the nort side of Valloire we took the highway A43 to the small city of La Chambre and from there the last mountain Pass in the Alps -Col de la Madeleine

We had a break in the top of Madeleine, Me and Timo ate some soup!

This was also a very hot day… So after mountain passes we had to ride through Albertville and on the north side of the Olympic City there was a valley and quite a lot of traffic when closing the city of Annecy… luckily the Lake Annecy was soon just beside the road and we took a swim in the beautiful clear turqoise water -nice refreshment in the middle of the day!

Then after city of Annecy I finally realized the the Alps are now behind!! We had some very nice mountain roads… but the views were quite boring comparing to the Alps. It was in the north side of Lake Geneva and it was the Jura mountains!

This road was very nice… It was mostly in the shadows of the trees and it didn’t feel too hot! Finally we arrived to our destination: The city of Les Rousses, and we ate dinner in very famous burger-restaurant, Chalet Regain!
