As mentioned, the road condition is deteriorated after you pass the Fort. However, going down the other end is not without risk as the tarmac is completely gone is some places. I've taken two screenshots from my recording to demonstrate.

The col des cyclotouristes is located at the North-East exit of Albertville, it is not considered as a real road col, but with nearly 1000M of difference in altitude for approximately 13Kms of Ascent, the slope is rough, The beginning of the col is very breakneck,indeed at the approach of Conflans in the 1st km of the passages has 13% ,what to put us immediately in the heart of the subject.Then until Fort du mont (km 10,2),the climb is quite regular with some more difficult passages.To note the last 2 km are a bit harder.
The road is relatively good except on the last 3 km after the Fort du Mont. The views over the Albertville valley and the Bauges massif are magnificent. As you climb, you can see the Tarentaise valley and the massif of the same name, and on a clear day, the Chartreuse massif and some summits of the Vanoise park with its eternal snows. For those who want to make the loop, the road goes down on the other side (not in very good condition) to join the D925 Albertville-Beaufort. Total about 30-35Kms for 1000 to 1100M of difference in altitude. For the beginners, go well warmed up because I climbed many times this pass and I never succeeded in managing the ascent, for reason I started at 500M of the foot.

Le col des cyclotouristes est situé à la sortie Nord-Est d’Albertville, il n’est pas considéré comme un vrai col routier, mais avec près de 1000M de dénivellation pour environ 13Kms d’Ascension, la pente est rude, Le début du col est très casse-pattes,en effet au abord de Conflans dans le 1er km des passages a 13% ,de quoi nous mettre tout de suite dans le vif du sujet.Ensuite jusqu’au Fort du mont (km 10,2),la montée est assez régulière avec quelques passages plus difficile.A noter les 2 derniers km sont un peu plus durs.
La route est relativement bonne à part sur les 3 derniers kilomètres après le Fort du Mont. Les vues sur la vallée albertvilloise et sur le massif des bauges sont magnifiques. Au fil de l’Ascension, on embrasse du regard, la vallée de la Tarentaise et le massif du même nom, et par temps clair le massif de la chartreuse et quelques sommets du parc de la Vanoise avec les neiges éternelles. Pour ceux qui veulent faire la boucle, la route descend de l’autre coté ( pas en très bon état ) pour rejoindre la D925 Albertville-Beaufort. Total environ 30-35Kms pour 1000 à 1100M de dénivellation. Pour les débutants, partez bien échauffés car j’ai escaladé de nombreuses fois ce col et je n’ai jamais réussi à gérer la montée, pour cause je démarrais à 500M du pied.
