Col de Balme and Col des Posettes
A truly beautiful mountain bike cycling climb to Col de Balme, surrounded by views of snowy peaks and a glacier or two. Map, photos, etc.

Col des Montets and Col de la Forclaz
A simple there and back route, up the scenic but not too difficult Col des Montets and Col de la Forclaz.
Col de Balme and Col des Posettes
The Chamonix tourist office gave me a map with several signed mountain bike routes on it.
I chose the “difficult” red route to Le Tour with a plan to then climb towards Col de Balme as high as possible.
