bike from Geneva to Chamonix

Has anyone ever biked from Geneva area to Chamonix?  If so, please share your tips, experience and advice.  I am wondering if this is a nice route with good views and not too many killer hills.


Thanks!

Where did you get that idea? It's less than 100km.

I wouldn't do it. The last portion is steep and with many bends. Add the car traffic and it's not safe. I never seen anyone bike there. As other suggested, it's probably easier/more fun to do some back roads around Chamonix, but not bike all the way there.

Me and my girlfriend have rode to cham in easter.  The roads are fine and the traffic not to bad.  Once you get to sallanches follow the cycle route signs to les houches and you will avoid the busy auto route.  I think you climb around 500m so nothing to worrie about.
