Perhaps the best ride of the year. Certainly the most beautiful.

Another fantastic and huge climb to an alpine dam / lake.
I love climbs to Alpine dams/lakes. And the ascent to Lac de Moiry has to be one of the hardest.
An unbelievably steep, but absolutely stunning route.
Doreen and I spent a great weekend following various cycling routes around Gstaad.
A fantastic ride surrounded by snow covered Alps for the entire route.
I think there is nothing more beautiful than an alpine lake surrounded by alps.
Not the hardest ride (or easiest) …. but almost the entire route is above 1000 metres and it is beautiful.
If you don’t like super steep, scenic climbs …. look away. I rode this very slowly but very happily.
The plan was to climb the steep and beautiful road from Aigle to Lac de l’Hongrin, proceed to Col des Mosses and loop back via Leysin.
