The Great St. Bernard Pass from Aosta via Gignod (Italy) - Indoor Cycling Training

The Great St. Bernard Pass is one of the most well-known mountain passes in the world. Armies led by Julius Caesar and later by Napoleon used this pass for their alpine crossing. But its history dates over 3000 years back. It is also famous because of the old hospice and its iconic Saint Bernard dog used to rescue travelers. You can climb to this pass from Italy and Switzerland, but the climb from the Italian side is the most beautiful. This climb takes the approach from Aosta via Gignod. On the lower slopes, there is more traffic. But a tunnel makes sure that motorized vehicles are almost none-existing on the higher slopes. The mountain pass itself has a beautiful lake and the hospice which still today welcomes travelers. The climb has been used several times by the Tour de France and Giro d’Italia. And it takes the same route as Tour du Mont Blanc, a 333 km long day race.

Just add music:
Most cyclists would agree that the ride to Col du Tourmalet is outstanding. But with music, opinions are very mixed. So we have added no music. Instead, we recommend adding your favorite music to the ride. It is quite simple. Mute RUclips and open a browser window. Find a site that offers music (Spotify, RUclips, etc…) and pick the music you like, and enjoy the ride... We have left the original sound of the ride out. This is because the noise from passing cars, vibrations from the road, wind, and the rider's breathing drowns the natural sound of the surroundings.

Thanks for the amazing bike rides of the world! Amazing for training in a Zone2 level to efficiently burn fat, raise VO2 max, increase peak performance basis, and improve the healthy volume of mitochondria. A santé!

And a big thanks to you for your support. Much appreciated :-)

I recommend using the small b-roads east of the main road, SR17 and then via Allein, merging in Etroubles with the main road. Much quieter and more pleasant when on a bicycle.

[@BiketheWorld]

Thanks René. You are 100% correct. This ride is great if one wants to follow the same route as Giro d'Italia or Tour du Mont Blanc. The quieter route you suggest via Porossan will be published soon too.

34 Km. Y lo mejor que en el camino están contadas. Así se hace amigable para los que no tienen ciclocomputador.
