The long road to Flaine. Our longest local climb, the Col de Pierree Carree tops out at 1880M having climbed 1346M over 21km from the valley floor. After the Col du Lauteret its the second highest pass that remains open all year accessing the ski resort of Flaine. A third of the way up the climb is the ski village of Les Carroz. Flaine is very quiet during the SUmmer months hence its virtually traffic free after Les Carroz.
