1354 Points -This variant of the classic ascent to Val Thorens is just as long and difficult as the other, but has the advantage of greater tranquillity.
Une variante agréable qui evite le passage sur la route principale. Mais attention, le village de St Laurent de la côte ne porte pas son nom par hasard ! Il vous faudra enchainer rudes épingles et forts pourcentages pour y parvenir avant de rejoindre ensuite la route classique à St Martin. Cette ascension a vu le passage du tour de France en 2019 lors d'une courte étape Albertville-Val Thorens.

This high-level walk takes you past sinkholes and offers amazing panoramic views. When you get to Le Biol, you’ll see a stone - the remains of the old mountain hut that was carried away by an avalanche in 1999.
