The Col des Saisies is one of the moderate passes on the Route des Grandes Alpes. It lies between the villages of Flumet and Beaufort. The rest of the route then leads to the Col de Méraillet and then on to the Cormet de Roselend.
The summit is at 1650 metres and the maximum gradient is around 12 percent. This photo was taken in the lower section, just after the village of Flumet, and shows the most winding part of the entire route. As part of the Alpine Marathon 2022, the SnapShortFilm and Harry’s Bike Tours team rode this Alpine pass on day 5. This day’s route began in Annecy and ended after the Col de Télégraphe in the ski resort of Valloire.
The Alpine Marathon 2022 was accompanied by a film crew to produce a two-part film for television. Anyone interested in riding this tour – always under the motto “7|6|50”, in 7 days through 6 countries over 50 passes – should contact Harrys Bike Tours in Carinthia. The programme includes guided tours and self-guided tours.
