Flumet is a small, picturesque village in the Mont Blanc region. It lies on the Route des Grandes Alpes between the Col des Aravis and Col des Saisies Alpine passes. The silhouette of the village is famous for its medieval arched bridge over the river Arly.
As part of the Alpine Marathon 2022 – 7|6|50 (in 7 days through 6 countries over 50 passes) – we cycled here on day 5. We started this day in Annecy. The rest of the route then took us into the French Alps via the Col de l’Iseran. Even though the two passes that border the valley around Flumet are not particularly high (around 1500 metres), the routes are still very attractive and, above all, winding.
Videos of other Alpine passes here on motomovie.de. If you fancy it, you can join this Alpine Marathon in 2023 as a “guided tour” or as a “self-guided tour” with Harry’s Bike Tours. The self-guided tours are ideal for small groups of riders who have their own riding style, want to be independent and still enjoy the services of an organised tour (hotels, routes, excursions, guided tours, evening events…).
