Route Details
Arvier – Usellières (Valgrisenche)
Arvier lies in a small hollow surrounded by vineyards.
In the centre of the village stands the Parish Church with its Museum of Sacred Art, the Romanesque bell-tower and La Mothe Castle, built towards the end of the 13th century. From the hamlet of Leverogne you gain access to the Valgrisenche, and climb up a series of steep hairpin bends around a peak, on top of which stands the small sanctuary of Notre-Dame de Rochefort and in the background you can see the magnificent Château Blanc glacier. Valgrisenche is surrounded by a number of peaks and glaciers. The valley is dominated by the Rutor glacier and the upper part is blocked by the Beauregard dam reservoir. The village of Valgrisenche huddles around the 19th century Parish Church of San Grato and its Mediaeval bell-tower.

About the Calorie Calculator
Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.
When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.
Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
