It's a climb I've made today for the first time... at least according to the itinerary shown here, because in fact I've climbed it several times in my youth, but only up to km 3, at Saint-Nizier-d'Uriage, after which I always went to the right, towards Pinetou du Faux.

In addition to the relevant information from Cromagnon, it should be noted that from the Col de la Coche it is currently no longer possible to descend to Gières via Venon, due to work on the bridge at the entrance to Gières (the Belledonne rivers have experienced heavy flooding in recent months, leading to a flurry of restoration or prevention work on the bridges concerned).

The most natural route is to turn right at the church in Venon towards the Japin, and then descend towards Murianette. You lose a little in terms of the quality of the route, but not in terms of the quality of the views, which are always sublime.

C'est une côte que j'ai grimpée aujourd'hui pour la première fois… du moins selon l'itinéraire indiqué ici, parce qu'en fait je l'ai plusieurs fois grimpée dans ma jeunesse, mais seulement jusqu'au km 3, à Saint-Nizier-d'Uriage, après quoi j'allais toujours vers la droite, en direction du Pinet ou du Faux. J'allais au col de la Coche via d'autres accès que le Sonnant-d'Uriage.

À noter, en plus des informations pertinentes apportées par Cromagnon, que du col de la Coche on ne peut plus descendre actuellement jusqu'à Gières via Venon, en raison de travaux sur le pont à l'entrée de Gière. Les cours d'eau de Belledonne ont connu de très fortes crues ces derniers mois, ce qui a entraîné une floppée de travaux de restauration ou de prévention sur les ponts concernés.

Le plus naturel est, au niveau de l'église de Venon, d'obliquer à droite vers le Japin, et descendre ensuite vers Murianette. On y perd un peu en qualité de route, mais pas en qualité de point de vue, toujours sublime.

this pass is best made from St Martin d'Uriage for the descent to Vernon, which is sublime.

But where is this Col de La Coche? Failing that, I'll show you the way to Les Cochettes... In any case, it's an interesting climb. The beginning is quite tough. The forest is pleasant and the road is closed to cars because it is quite run-down and awaiting work. Two-wheelers are permitted. As you leave the forest, you can see Chamrousse. Stealthily ...
At Nizier, as soon as the climb fades, you turn left towards the Vernon sign.
The descent to Gières is fantastic.

Mais où est donc ce col de La Coche ? À défaut, je vous montre un chemin des Cochettes… En tout cas, cette ascension est intéressante. Le début est assez costaud. La forêt est agréable et la route est interdite aux voitures parce qu’elle est assez dégradée et attend des travaux. On est autorisé à passer en deux roues. Quand on sort de la forêt, on voit Chamrousse. Furtivement …
À Nizier, dès que la montée s’estompe, on tourne à gauche vers la pancarte Vernon.
La descente vers Gières est fantastique.
