The route starts at Orsières train station and follows the Route de Ferret through Val Ferret towards Somlaproz for the entire ride. The ascent is not particularly steep and allows you to cycle at a good pace through green scenery while admiring numerous peaks enclosing the valley between Switzerland and Italy. Mont Dolent and the Aiguille d'Argentière are among the most remarkable in the area. As you climb towards the hamlet of Ferret, you will pass typical villages such as Praz-de-Fort and La Fouly. This pristine and relatively unknown valley is worth exploring by bike: the ascent is appropriate in difficulty and traffic on the road is limited.
At Orsières train station, turn left onto Route de Ferret, which leads to the hamlet of Somlaproz. Follow this road for about 15 kilometers. Along the way, you will pass through the hamlets of Praz-de-Fort and Branche-d'en-Haut before reaching the village of La Fouly. Near the tourism office, keep left and continue for two kilometers on the road leading to the hamlet of Ferret.
