- Station of La Tour du Pin.
Take the train to La Tour du Pin and discover the heights of the Vals du Dauphiné.
From the train station, you'll cycle through the small town of La Tour du Pin to tackle the climb to the Hauts de St Roch (1.7km at an average gradient of 4.4%), a key stage for the 2025 French National Cycling Championships for Juniors and Elite riders in 2026. After the climb and enjoying the views, you'll continue along a gently rolling but not particularly challenging route.
