A route via the main road on the north-facing slope, which I find easier than the one along the D102. The climb features several rolling sections that allow you to pace yourself, and even a short downhill stretch. There are quite a few shaded sections, which are pleasant in summer. The final stretch requires you to put in some serious effort and can take you by surprise, especially when you’re feeling tired.... read more

Variante par la route principale du versant nord, que je trouve plus facile que celle de la D102. La montée offre plusieurs sections roulantes qui permettent de gérer son effort, et même d'un petite portion descendante. Pas mal de parties ombragées qui sont agréables l'été. La fin demande de remettre des watts et peut surprendre, surtout quand la fatigue est là.

Irregular ascent, steep in places, with beautiful views of the Entremont valley at the beginning and end. As for the other side, it is imperative to keep your pedal to the metal, as this ascent is generally located between two others, most often the Col du Granier and the Col de Porte. At the foot of the climb, the village of Saint-Pierre-d'Entremont has the particularity of being split into two completely autonomous parts, one in Isère and the other in Savoie, on either side of the Guiers Vif river.

Ascension irrégulière, pentues par endroit, dégageant de belles vues sur la vallée d'Entremont à son début et à sa fin. Comme pour l'autre versant, il est impératif d'en garder sous la pédale, cette ascension étant généralement située entre deux autres, le plus souvent celle du col du Granier et celle du col de Porte. Au pied de la montée, le village de Saint-Pierre-d'Entremont a la particularité d'être scindé en deux parties complètement autonomes, l'une en Isère et l'autre en Savoie, de part et d'autre de la rivière du Guiers Vif.
