About Val Thorens from Moutiers
This ride takes the same route to Val Thorens as the Tour de France peloton in 2019. It is a beautiful route with a nice curving backroad and amazing views of the Belleville valley. With almost 2000 meters / 6500 feet of elevation gain, this is a challenging ride. Luckily it has a few descents and plateaus to give the legs a rest. You start in Moûtiers with a short warm-up before the climb starts. When the climb starts you enter a nice curving back road with very few cars. As you climb you get a better and better view of the Belleville valley. The views become even better when you leave the backroad. You ride with great panoramic views all the way to Val Thorens. In Val Thorens, you have one last descent. You better enjoy it because the last climb has a maximum gradient of 13 percent. The last segment of road takes you up and above Val Thorens and was built for the Tour de France in 2019.

Just add music:
Most cyclists would agree that the ride to Col du Tourmalet is awesome. But when it comes to music opinions are very mixed. This is why we recommend adding your favorite music to the ride. It is quite simple. Mute YouTube and open a browser window. Find a site that offers music (Spotify, YouTube, etc…) and pick the music you like, and enjoy the ride… The original sound of the ride has been left out. This is because the natural sound of the surroundings is drowned by noise from passing cars, vibrations from the road, wind, and the rider’s breathing.

Beautiful videos, but oh so boring. I tried one on a 75 minute Z2 ride and the lack of traffic and bikes, especially bikes in a group made it too dull to pass the time. Sorry to be negative.
Don’t listen to Stephen, all you need is a Road, your Bike and your favourite MUSIC and life is good
BtW's posts have been great during lockdown and, now, lockdown + weather that makes the roads dangerous. (Last year's bust femur will last me a lifetime.) I ride turbo for an hour on my son's old 7-speed. One window is open full-screen on BtW while another in the background plays cardio tracks. It's easy to vary the routines depending on how I feel. It's been great to see places in France that I know, and now lots more across Europe I want to visit when this war is over. Many thanks, BtW.
Fabulous… thank you
I did this in 2019 at L'etape.
Esta ruta la deje sin finalizar hace un tiempo, pero ahora termine desde cero.
