Very interesting pass to do at the start of the season to get back into shape. No passage over 8％. Very good surface. The only downside is that there is no view from the summit. Halfway up, however, you can admire La Tournette, the Aravis range and Mont Blanc on a clear day. In summer, this east-facing slope heats up in the morning. Very little traffic. You can continue after the pass on the other side and even head for the Corniche de Valromey, which takes you through the central part of the Grand Colombier massif on sometimes steep, undulating terrain (11％).
Col très intéressant à faire en début de saison pour reprendre la forme. Aucun passage à plus de 8％. Revêtement très correct. Seul bémol, il n’y a pas de vue au sommet. A mi parcours, on peut néanmoins admirer la Tournette, la chaîne des Aravis et le mont blanc pas temps clair. L’été ce versant Est chauffe dès le matin. Très peu de circulation. On peut continuer après le col sur l’autre versant et même prendre la direction de la Corniche de Valromey et donc rouler sur la partie centrale du massif du grand colombier sur du vallonné parfois raide (11％).
