A short but steep climb on a wide and fairly busy road. Because of its short length, it is tempting to go all out, which is risky: it is often an intermediate climb, for example between the Col de Porte and the Col du Granier. If you spend too much time there, the following climb(s) could be a nightmare. It is therefore essential to "keep your pedal to the metal" when climbing the Col du Cucheron.
The village of Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse, crossed by this slope, is very pleasant and deserves a small visit.
Montée courte mais pentue, sur une route large et assez fréquentée. En raison de cette faible longueur, la tentation est grande de s'y livrer à fond, ce qui est risqué : il s'agit en effet souvent d'une ascension intermédiaire, par exemple entre le col de Porte et le col du Granier. Si on s'y dépense trop, la ou les montées qui suivent pourraient alors être un calvaire. Il faut donc impérativement « en garder sous la pédale » lors de l'ascension du col du Cucheron.
Le village de Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse, traversé par ce versant, est très agréable et mérite une petite visite.
