HMV Cyclo Challenge – Montée de l’Orgère

Description

From Saint-André, follow the signs for the Parc national de la Vanoise. The climb takes you through a remarkable forest before reaching the alpine pastures and the Orgère refuge.

The climb is quite difficult, with many passages above 9%. However, there are a number of short flat areas where you can take a breather. Despite the difficulty, the climb is well worth it for the breathtaking panorama at the summit.

The Haute Maurienne Vanoise Cyclo Challenge consists of 6 climbs, each more unique than the last.

The Orgère climb is 9.92 km long, from the intersection above Saint André to the Orgère refuge. It totals 767m D+.

How does the HMV Cyclo Challenge work?
Add up the altitude difference of each climb and pass the different levels *.

Each participant will be able to register on site, at the start of the climb, and will receive an HMV Cyclo Challenge support which will enable him/her to accumulate the vertical gradients of each of the 6 climbs in the area: L'iseran, Mont Cenis, Aussois, l'Orgère, Valfréjus and Bellecombe.
Some climbs can be done several times if you feel up to it!

3 suggested objectives:

Bronze level: Achieve 1,000 m cumulative vertical drop
Silver level: Reach 2,000 m of cumulative vertical drop
Gold level : 3,000 m cumulative vertical drop

At each level, win goodies from our partners.

Then enter the draw to win the grand prize!
