This fall, with Fanny, we tackled a famous peak in Queyras, perhaps THE most famous for mountain biking: the Grand Glaiza, 3293 m. I've had it in mind for a long time, but I never had the chance to go.
So how to say? Despite the altitude, I have never made a summit so easy. Yes, it was quite long (17 km, 1500 meters of altitude difference). But about the difficulty, it was rather disappointing... Only the 40 top meters were a little complicated, but otherwise... paths as wide as highways, no obstacles except a few little stone. But..... it was nice to accelerate for once. It felt like we were riding in a bikepark 😄😄 And afterward it was beautiful. We only met 3 people during the whole day!
In short, a great summit for those who want to start MTB in high mountain and do a 3000 m summit in easy mode.
