Cycling

In summer, recharging points for electric bikes are available at the Tourist Office and at the Col de la Croix de Fer.

Cycling to suit all tastes, with mountain bikers and cycle tourists in their element.

The cols du Glandon and de la Croix de Fer, dominated by the Etendard peak, are a high point in the Alps, linking the Savoyard valleys of Les Villards and Arvan to the Eau d'Olle valley.
The Col de la Croix de Fer, at an altitude of 2,067 metres, lies on the boundary between the Grandes Rousses massif and the Arves, in the commune of St Sorlin d'Arves. 
A major cycling venue and a pass not included in the Tour de France category, it links Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne to the northeast and Bourg-d'Oisans to the south, i.e. the Maurienne and Romanche valleys, passing close to the Col du Glandon.
Open from June to October

Accredited with the ‘Accueil Vélo’ label and situated directly on the route to the Col de la Croix de Fer, the Tourist Office offers services to make your visit enjoyable and hassle-free: drinking water and toilets, bike parking spaces and charging points for electric bikes (with further charging points available at the Col de la Croix de Fer), information on cycling facilities (routes, maps, GPX tracks, services, hire/sales/repair shops, accommodation...), luggage storage for panniers or small bags on request, device charging (GPS, phone), and a repair kit available (foot pump, puncture repair kit, lubricant).

The Col de la Croix de Fer, a little history:

Formerly known as the Col d'Olle because of its location in the Combe d'Olle, the source of the Eau d'Olle river, the only mule track that crossed the pass for several centuries was finally transformed into a road: first in 1900 from Saint-Sorlin-d'Arves to the pass, then in 1912 for its extension to the Col du Glandon. The road was inaugurated on July 14, 1912. The Col de la Croix de Fer also replaces the mule track over the Col d'Arves and Fontcouverte.

Saint-Sorlin-d'Arves is a partner of Maurienne, the largest cycling area in the world !
