A rolling, easy and pleasant pass. Ideal for getting back into climbing after the winter. The road is clean. Not much to see. The scenery at the finish is pleasant but not breathtaking.
Lots of bikers at weekends. Lots of cyclists too.
In the village of Leschaux, there are public toilets, a water point and a small tyre inflation and repair station.
Next to it, a painting in honour of the winner of the first Tour de France.

Un col roulant, facile et agréable. Idéal pour se remettre à grimper après l’hiver. La route est propre. Peu de choses à voir. Les pourcentages se suivent et se ressemblent. Ce col ne fait jamais mal.
Les paysages à l’arrivée sont agréables mais pas décoiffants.
Beaucoup de motards le week-end. Beaucoup de cyclistes aussi.
Dans le village de Leschaux, des toilettes publiques, un point d’eau et une petite station de gonflage et de réparation de pneus.
A côté, une peinture en l’honneur du vainqueur du premier Tour de France.

A very rolling pass with a gentle, even gradient. Most of the route is in the shade, with lovely views of the lake and La Tournette, as well as the other peaks surrounding the lake. Traffic can be heavier in summer, at weekends and on the way to and from work. A good transitional pass between Annecy and the Bauges, or a warm-up pass for the Semnoz.

Col très roulant à la pente douce et régulière. Parcours majoritairement à l'ombre, avec de jolies vues sur le lac et la Tournette, ainsi que les autres sommets entourant le lac. La circulation peut être plus importante en été, les week-ends et aux horaires d'aller-retour au travail. Bon col de transition entre Annecy et les Bauges ou d'échauffement pour le Semnoz.

A nice easy and steady climb, on the way to Semnoz peak. A bit long but generally mild gradient. Went on a Saturday early morning in September and had no traffic. Nice views over the lake in the first 1/4 of the ride. Break at the Col de Lascheaux, before attacking Semnoz

A "rolling" climb with a percentage that allows you to maintain a good pace throughout. Areas of shade are pleasant in hot weather and the view over the lake adds a little extra to the climb.

Montée « roulante » avec un pourcentage permettant de maintenir une bonne allure tout au long. Des zones d’ombres sont agréables en période de fortes chaleurs et la vue sur le Lac rajoute un petit plus à la montée.

A lovely climb that really allows you to find your tempo as the gradient only fluctuates between 4 and 5%. Mostly in the shade as well, allowing you a bigger gear but be careful if you are then heading up Semnoz

The climb isn't very complicated, the gradient is even and gentle. At the top of the pass, it's best to continue on to the Semnoz climb for some beautiful scenery.

La montée n'est pas très compliquée, la pente est régulière et faible. en haut du col, le mieux est d'enchaîner sur la montée du semnoz pour avoir de beaux paysages.

Done with my panniers, very quiet and pleasant. Don't hesitate to do it as a warm-up for the Semnoz.

A climb with few gradients but quite long, so it makes up for it well. There's a small view of the lake at the start of the climb, but for a better view I recommend climbing Semnoz afterwards. The easy gradient makes it possible to feel fast and accelerate very easily, which is very pleasant. I give it 4 stars because I loved it but unfortunately there is no view at the top,

Montée avec peu de pourcentages mais assez longue donc ça compense bien. Durant le début de l'ascension on peut avoir une petite vue sur le lac mais pour une meilleure vue je conseille de monter Semnoz après. La facilité de la pente permet de se sentir rapide et d'accélérer très aisément ce qui est fort agréable. Je mets 4 étoiles car j'ai adoré mais malheureusement pas de vue au sommet,

The Col de Leschaux via the main route. It's a bit like the pass that everyone has done here, and that everyone comes back to do several times because it's easy and accessible near the lake. Lots of people (cars and bikes).

Le col de Leschaux par la voie principale. C’est un petit peu le col que tout le monde a fait ici, et que tout le monde vient refaire plusieurs fois car simple et accessible près du lac. Beaucoup de monde (voiture comme vélo).

A very pleasant, rolling climb. Sometimes the scenery comes into view around a bend. What's more, the climb is very lightly used and the surface is in perfect condition.

Montée très roulante et super agréable. Parfois le paysage apparaît au détour d'un virage. De plus, la montée est très peu fréquentée et le revêtement en parfait état.

Great beginners climb, a long and linear run with little sharp corners, ideal for keeping your speed the way down. Some traffic, but the road is wide enough and in general people take care approaching, I never felt unsafe. If you're feeling strong, you may take this climb as a warming up for Semnoz which seamlessly connects with the top of this climb.
Ride in the evening to ride in the shade of the mountain and have beautiful sunlight reflecting on opposite rock faces.
Downside: no view from the top.

Selected this climb with care to let my 13 year old son experience his first 'col'. Expressly came from Sévrier so it will be a long, even climb, 3-5%.
Back the same way. Nice running downhill, with sometimes nice views to Lac d'Annecy.
Next time, we'll continue to Semnoz!

Deze klim met zorg geselecteerd om mijn 13 jarige zoon zijn eerste 'col' te laten ervaren. Expres gekomen vanuit Sévrier zodat het een lange, gelijkmatige klim wordt, 3-5%.
Terug dezelfde weg. Lekker lopende afdaling, met af en toe mooie doorkijkjes naar Lac d'Annecy.
Doorpakken naar Semnoz is voor de volgende keer!

Nice climb to then equal the Semnoz to climb, together good for 25km climbing. Nice climb for beginners.
