10th Rallye Megeve – Saint-Tropez 2024
STAGE 1 / MEGEVE – L’ALPE D’HUEZ
From Megeve, the first stage of this 10th edition immediately proposed the ascent of the Beaufortain passes which are the Col des Saisies and the Cormet de Roselend, also famous for its azure blue lake!
A CP / Coffee Break was established there before starting the descent towards Bourg-St-Maurice. However, snow removal from the Col de l’Iseran having fallen behind schedule this year, this will have caused a change in the route to reach the Maurienne valley via the Col de la Madeleine.
Modane and Fort Marie-Thérèse were then in focus for the lunch break, before heading towards the famous triptych Col du Télégraphe, Col du Galibier, Col du Lautaret which marked the afternoon with beautiful walls of snow .
The rest of the route was unique, with the Sarenne pass which allowed you to reach Alpe d’Huez via its narrow and winding road, in the middle of a pastoral area. After this day spent under radiant sunshine, the evening and night take place in the heart of the resort, at the Hôtel des Grandes Rousses before the second stage which will reach the Lubéron tomorrow.
