Not much to add to Franck's comment, except that the remaining kilometres to the Col de Marcieu aren't as easy as all that, in fact they're uneven but some sections are quite steep.

Pas grand chose à ajouter au commentaire de Franck, sauf que les kilomètres restants pour rejoindre le Col de Marcieu ne sont pas si facile que ça, effectivement irréguliers mais certaines portions assez pentues.

The climb is quite tough until you reach the Plateau des Petites Roches (~km 7.5), on a wide and relatively quiet road (apart from the commute to and from work of the Plateau's inhabitants). The rest of the route to the Col de Marcieu is irregular and much less difficult, but overall this climb is not to be underestimated.

At the pass itself there is a small ski station and an outdoor play centre for the whole family (tree climbing, etc.), as well as a well-stocked bar-restaurant. It is also a starting point for popular Chartreuse walks (Aup du Seuil, Lance de Malissard...).

Beautiful views of the valley and the Belledonne range along the way up, and of the Chartreuse peaks as you approach the pass.

Montée assez rude jusqu'à l'arrivée au Plateau des Petites Roches (~km 7,5), sur une route large et relativement tranquille (en dehors des allers/retours des habitants du Plateau pour leur travail). Le reste du parcours jusqu'au col de Marcieu est irrégulier et nettement moins difficile, mais globalement cette ascension n'est surtout pas à sous-estimer.

Au col lui-même se trouve une petite station de ski et un espace d'activités de plein air pour toute la famille (accrobranche, etc.), ainsi qu'un bar-restaurant bien achalandé. C'est également un point de départ pour des randonnées pédestres très fréquentées en Chartreuse (Aup du Seuil, Lance de Malissard…).

Beaux points de vue sur la vallée et la chaine de Belledonne le long de la montée, et sur les sommets de Chartreuse à l'approche du col.
