Champoluc - Antagnod

 

 

This unwinds entirely on asphalted road, but it has a good mixture of lenght, panorama and slope to represent an interesting excursion for anybody.

First of all, the difference in height: Champoluc lies at 1568 meters of altitude, Antagnod at 1694. The ascent is represented by a perfect road, pretty panoramic, which only fault is to have many  blind hairipin bends, so you won't see the incoming cars.

The first part, until Champlan and Pallenc villages, or more exactely until Mandrou's crossroad, is the hardest, with a constant slope; after Magneaz, however, it's all flat until Antagnod.

The way back will be short and fast, and also the discent from the other side of Antagnod, until you reach State Road no. 506 is funny enough, but you'll find yourself far from Champoluc (4 km).
