The ride begins in Chamonix,
with Mont Blanc overhead and a weather-dependent start on June 30 or July 1.
From there, the route moves through Samoëns,
with room for a night in town or an alpine option at
Bostan.
The next stretch descends toward Évian, on the lake.
Montreux delivers a lakefront finish, with evenings timed around the 60th anniversary of the
Montreux Jazz Festival
and plenty of open venues to explore.
