Why this ride

Built for flow, views and useful stops rather than navigation busywork. This road trip is shaped as a ride, not as a shortcut: leave the start cleanly, use the first checkpoint for fuel and weather discipline, then let the middle 134 km be the part you remember. The best part sits around Lac du Bourget Balcony Ride scenic road, Lac du Bourget Balcony Ride high point, Lac du Bourget Balcony Ride photo pull-off, while Lac du Bourget Balcony Ride fuel gate and Lac du Bourget Balcony Ride food stop keep the day practical instead of turning it into a fuel hunt. Check the selected map before departure: scenic sections, transfer sections, speed/control reminders, risk points and the GPX checkpoint order are deliberately visible so the route is understandable before the engine starts. Ride it early if the area is popular, keep the photo stops legal, and shorten the route if weather, daylight or energy stops agreeing with the plan.
