If you’re in Samoëns, it’s probably to climb the Col de Joux Plane, and since you’re in Samoëns, you simply must go on this ride…
The road isn’t in the best condition, but it’s all going well… At the end of the day, I wasn’t bothered by the traffic.
D’un point de vue cycliste, c’est peu interessant. D’un point de vue géologique, c’est fascinant. Cet immense amphithéâtre calcaire est saisissant.
Ce n’est pas qu’un décor de carte postale, c’est une espèce de cathédrale si vaste qu’on s’y sent vite minuscule.
Si vous êtes à Samoëns, c’est probablement pour grimper le col de Joux Plane, et comme vous êtes à Samoëns, vous devez faire cette balade…
La route n’est pas dans un état exceptionnel, mais tout se passe bien… En fin de journée, je n’ai pas été gêné par la circulation.
A steady, fairly gentle climb – ideal for a leisurely walk. Stunning scenery
Dénivelé régulier et plutôt agréable pour une sortie tranquille. Paysage grandiose
