You pass beautiful mountain villages and see very nice mountains and alpine meadows. But no panoramic views. I did the connection with Col de Ramaz and then descended towards Mieussy.... read more

It was a very nice climb, which I did at the end of the afternoon and therefore entirely in the shade, and I enjoyed it. Nothing difficult until the last 1.5km ramp at 10-15％! So I'll have to make sure I keep my pedal to the metal at the end.
Très belle montée, effectuée en fin d'après-midi pour ma part, et donc entièrement à l'ombre, je me suis régalé. Rien de difficile jusqu'à la dernière rampe de 1,5 km à 10-15％ ! Il faudra donc bien veiller à en garder sous la pédale pour la fin.
Ideal intermediate col on the way to the Ramaz. It's not that spectacular but you do have a drinkable fountain at the top. Very handy! The Café and restaurants at the summit also looked cosy. Be careful though because in the summer of '25 there are roadworks as you turn onto the road towards Essert-Romand starting point coming from Saint-Jean-d'Aulps. It looked like this is for a long time.
Ideale tussencol onderweg naar de Ramaz. Hij is niet zo spectaculair maar je hebt wel een drinkbaar fontijntje op de top. Heel handig! De Café en restaurants op de top zagen er ook gezellig uit. Let wel op want in de zomer van '25 zijn er wegenwerken als je de weg opdraait richting startpunt Essert-Romand komende van Saint-Jean-d'Aulps. Het zag ernaar uit dat dit voor lange tijd is.
very nice climb, little traffic; beware of varying road surface quality especially when descending and on a sunny day with stark contrast between sun and shadow you can easily miss a pothole or gravel on the tarmac
A fine climb, very quiet after the village.
No major difficulties apart from the last kilometre where you need to have kept your legs!
Belle montée, très calme après le village.
Pas de grosse difficulté à part le dernier kilomètre où il faut avoir gardé des jambes!

Heel erg rustige klim met niet veel verkeer, maar wel sterke stijging met haarspeldbochten. Maar het is zeker de moeite waard. Je passeert mooie bergdorpjes en ziet hele mooie bergen en alpenweiden. Maar geen vergezicht. Ik heb de aansluiting met Col de Ramaz gedaan en dan afgedaald richting Mieussy.
