after doing the Col de Joux Plane... take a descent via Morzine ....to start the Col de Joux Verte via Avoriaz.
nice climb , good roads, ..somewhere halfway the descent there's a village with goats on the street :-)
and at the bottom of the descent the lac de Montriond
all surrounded by nice scenery
Personally it was my first big pass and I liked it. The landscape is great but the passage of the cars is quite consequent despite everything. The difficulty level is quite high at the beginning but after the hairpins the rest of the climb is not complicated.
Personnellement c’était mon premier grand col et j’ai bien aimé. Le paysage est super mais le passage des voitures est assez conséquent malgré tout. Niveau difficulté, le début comme assez fort mais après avoir passé les épingles le reste de la montée n’est pas compliqué
Nice climb on a perfect road! A real bike highway. Steady gradients all the way to the top with countless switchbacks above Morzine.
Belle ascension sur une route parfaite ! Une vraie autoroute pour vélo. Des pourcentages réguliers jusqu'au sommet avec un nombre indénombrable de virages au dessus de Morzine.
Really nice climb this. Pretty quiet and very peaceful at the top... although that may be because the top in Avoriaz is basically a massive car park, which seems to be empty in the summer.
Some great views on the way up, and a few places with trees offering shade on a hot day. Nice to have the Tour de France km markers all the way up as well, although there is not obvious finishing point... the last sign/marker is 1.3km to go, then.... nothing. Bit weird, but obviously doesn't take anything away from the climb itself.
Nothing at the top for water or a coffee, but back down the slope a short way is a good cafe - right on the Joux-Vert sign.
Descent down the Joux-verte via the lake is definitely worth it. Great descent, good roads and some lovely views back into Morzine.
Super nice route with good road surface, long climb that gets too steep and you can keep on cycling to the ski village of Avoriaz (before you really are in Avoriaz you have to climb another 2km).
Super mooie route met goed wegdek, lange klim die te steil wordt en je lekker door kan blijven fietsen naar het skidorp Avoriaz (voordat je echt in Avoriaz bent moet je nog even 2km de klim doortrekken).
