This is not a route that attracts cyclists because of its scenery (most of the time it is in the forest) or its viewpoints (few) but because it is the steepest climb in the Grenoble area, similar to the Croix de Fer, and at the same time one of the most difficult in the region.

This is not a route that attracts cyclists because of its scenery (most of the time it is in the forest) or its viewpoints (few) but because it is the steepest climb in the Grenoble area, similar to the Croix de Fer, and at the same time one of the most difficult in the region.

From Séchilienne to the Col du Luitel, the road is steep, very narrow and often in very poor condition. From the col du Luitel to Chamrousse, the road is much wider (and busier), much less steep, and inevitably less picturesque.
