The Col des Aravis is a mountain pass in the French Alps connecting the towns of La Clusaz and La Giettaz. Zwift’s segment is from the “easier” La Clusaz side.
While not a particularly steep climb, the Aravis from this side is distinctive because of its triple zig-zags. In real life, the climb marks the border between the departments of Savoie and Haute-Savoie and offers a splendid panorama of the snow-capped Mont-Blanc.
This climb has been included in the Tour de France 42 times, first in 1911 and most recently in Stage 15 of the 2023 Tour.
We couldn’t find an IRL segment that perfectly matched Zwift’s start/end points, but here’s one that is close:

Can the list of climbs please added to the app, or a custom event be created to ride the p?

Could events be used to connect the portal climb , so you could do one after the other.
Can you teleport to climbs
