4.0 by Franck_PastorThis is an automatic translation, the original language is: French.Nice climb, frequented in its first part (from Goncelin to Moretel-de-Mailles), much less so afterwards, at least until the junction with the D280 (the Balcon de Belledonne road) a few kilometres from the top of the pass. Very beautiful forest and country landscapes. The alternative, in fact the standard version, is to take the D280 from its beginning, at Saint-Pierre-d'Allevard.

Ascent in 2 stages. First, a fairly busy road that climbs steadily on a good surface. After a short descent and ascent, you then branch off from the classic route onto a quiet little road. The surface isn't as good but it's okay, and the views are often very pretty, but there's very little shade. The slope is steeper but never too steep.
Ascension en 2 temps. Tout d'abord une route assez fréquentée qui monté régulièrement sur un bon revêtement. Après une courte redescente et remontée, on bifurque ensuite de la route classique pour prendre une petite route très calme. Le revêtement est moins bon mais correct, et la vue souvent très jolie, mais l'ombre se fait très rare. La pente est alors plus soutenue mais jamais trop forte.
Done on 10 June 2025 but only from St Pierre D'allevard (not Goncelin), a less busy alternative to taking the D280 directly.
Pleasant ascent, shady, quiet but still quite steep.
The alternative is reached 3km from the summit (Rte des Balcons de Beldonne).
Fait le 10 juin 2025 mais seulement en partant de St Pierre D'allevard ( pas de Goncelin ), une alternative moins fréquentée que de prendre directement la D280.
Ascension agréable , ombragée, calme et malgré tout assez pentue.
on rejoint l'alternative à 3km du sommet. ( Rte des Balcons de Beldonne )
A very nice pass once you've passed the road below, but I recommend descending via Saint Pierre, as the road is better there. Don't forget to check your mirrors for a great view of the Flumet lake and the Bauges massif!
Col très sympa une fois passé la route du bas, je conseille de descendre par Saint Pierre, la route y est meilleure. Regardez dans vos rétros pour une belle vue sur le lac du Flumet et le massif des bauges !
The contrast between the first and second part of this climb could not be greater. From a busy track where you don't really seem to be climbing anywhere to a super nice narrow road that winds evenly uphill. Don't forget to look back for a nice view and at the top more of that!
Het contrast tussen het eerste en tweede deel van deze beklimming kan niet groter zijn. Van een drukke baan waarop je nergens echt lijkt te klimmen naar een super mooie smalle weg die gelijkmatig omhoog kronkelt. Vergeet niet achterom te kijken voor een mooi uitzicht en op de top meer van dat!

Belle ascension, fréquentée dans sa première partie (de Goncelin à Moretel-de-Mailles), beaucoup moins ensuite, du moins jusqu'à la jonction avec la D280 (la route du Balcon de Belledonne) à quelques kilomètres du sommet du col. Très beaux paysages forestiers et champêtres. L'alternative, en fait la version standard, est de prendre la D280 dès son début, à Saint-Pierre-d'Allevard. La route est alors plus fréquentée mais tout aussi agréable, et globalement un peu moins pentue.
