Do it yourself

TRAVEL Geneva airport is well served and is a 90-minute drive from Martigny. Trains are a costeffective means to get around with a bike, and Martigny has good connections. WHEN This route is generally snowfree from late June to mid-October but it can get very cold. Check the weather forecast. FOOD AND DRINK There are no cafes or shops on the 2,000m climb between Le Châble (at 34km) and the Col de la Croix de Coeur (at 62km). Make sure you have food and drink on this tough section.
