Steve Morabito Climb

Departure from Granges at Avenue de la Gare - Vaas - Flanthey - Chelin - Lens - Chermignon-d'en-Haut - Montana Village - Bluche - Montana Gare - Arrival at Montana Ycoor at Rue Louis Antille

The entry onto "Route de la Crête-Blanche" from "Route de la Rêche" will be after a "Yield" sign with sufficient visibility to enter a road with a speed limit of 50 km/h. After crossing the "Route de la Crête-Blanche" bridge, the cyclist will join the "Route Cantonale de Corin" before turning left onto "Route de Granges." Here, the speed is limited and visibility is sufficient to allow "cyclo-sportifs" to access safely.

To reach Granges by car, take the A9 motorway (Rhône motorway) exit called "Sierre west." At the motorway exit, turn left and follow the signs indicating "Sierre." At the third roundabout, take the third exit towards Sion. Continue for 5 km then take the right turn towards Granges and cross the bridge.

The town of Sion is accessible by SBB trains. From Sion station, take the post buses towards Sierre to the stop closest to the start: Granges, Grand Canal.

This route is intended for "cyclo-sportifs"
This route can be taken in both directions.

The start and finish of this route are not located in Crans-Montana. It was conceived from the "Route du Rhône", the national route no. 1, which is the backbone of the cycling routes in Valais.
It is actually a stepped climb between Granges and Crans-Montana. Being one of Steve Morabito's favourite climbs that he very often uses in training, this timed ascent is called the "Steve Morabito Climb".
