Around Thônes, there’s a real choice of short, very steep and very intense climbs.
This one leads to the foot of the Tournette massif.
The tarmac is a bit rough, but still in very decent condition.
The gradients are definitely gruelling. They range from 8 to 15 per cent.
There’s no let-up.
You have to climb right to the end of the tarmac road. Don’t stop at Les Chappes; carry on until you reach the small sign for ‘Belchamp Le Haut’.
Along the way, there are a few views of the Tournette.
A pleasant stretch through the forest.
Be careful: there are two treacherous drainage channels at the start of the descent, which otherwise offers a real chance to pick up speed.
Wait until you’ve passed these two channels…
Autour de Thônes, il y a vraiment du choix en courtes montées très raides et très intenses.
Celle ci conduit au pied du massif de la Tournette.
Le tarmac est un peu rugueux, mais reste toujours très correct.
Les pourcentages sont clairement douloureux. Tout se passe entre 8 et 15%.
Pas de répit.
Il faut grimper jusqu’au bout de la route asphaltée. On ne s’arrête pas aux Chappes, on poursuit jusqu’au petit panneau « Belchamp Le Haut ».
En chemin, quelques vues sur la Tournette.
Un agréable passage en forêt.
Attention, deux rigoles d’évacuation d’eau sont piégeuses au début de la descente, qui elle, offre vraiment la possibilité de prendre de la vitesse.
Attendez d’avoir dépassé ces deux rigoles…

No miraculous scenery, the Rte is in average condition, just be careful on the way down.
It's worth pointing out that you can continue for another 400M according to the Climbfinder graph.
Après La Blonnière, Le Sappey, Montremond, La Clossette l'an dernier et Le Mont juste avant, avec l'ascension des Chappes on aura ratissé tout ce qui se fait d'abrupte autour de Thônes.
Pas de paysages miraculeux, la Rte est en état moyen , juste il faut être prudent dans la descente.
À signaler que l'on peu continuer encore 400M par rapport au graphique Climbfinder.
