Ascent winding through the vineyards above Villard. A small, deserted road that doesn't climb any higher than the route d'apremont, except for a short, very steep section of 100m (12-15％) before the junction with the route d'apremont at 600m altitude, but it passes quickly... Tip top! A nice, little-known alternative.
