From Les Granges, the ascent to the Col du Grand Cucheron includes the steepest part through the forest. The road is very quiet and the tarmac is of fairly poor quality. It's a short but intense climb. There aren't really any viewpoints, except at the summit, but the trees increasingly hide the Lauzière.... read more

Depuis les Granges, l'ascension du Col du Grand Cucheron se compose de la partie la plus raide dans la forêt. La route est très calme et le bitume d'assez mauvaise qualité. C'est une montée courte mais intense. il n'y a pas vraiment de point de vue, si ce n'est au sommet, mais les arbres cachent de plus en plus la Lauzière.

A relatively short climb but very steep in places, a classic of the Chamoux loop, Champ-Laurent descent to Granges and then Grand Cucheron (thighs burning)

Une ascension relativement courte mais très pentue par endroits, un classique de la boucle Chamoux, Champ-Laurent descente aux Granges puis Grand Cucheron ( les cuisses qui brulent )
