A very tough climb with many variations in gradient. Very good surface, especially at the start of Chapareillan. You need to keep your pedal to the metal if you want to get to the top...

Montée très dure avec des variations de pente. Très bon revêtement notamment au départ de Chapareillan. Il faut en garder sous la pédale si on veut arriver en haut...

An inferno :)
I climbed in hot weather, around midday, with very little shade (a little more in the second half, but that's anecdotal) and suffered like I rarely do on a pass.
The start isn't as steep, but once you're in the hard stuff, it's all the way to the end.
The slopes are steep, the few areas to rest are short and immediately followed by 9-11% slopes.
The arrival at the summit is a liberation (with a bar for refreshments).

Un enfer :)
Monté par temps chaud, vers midi, très peu d'ombre (un peu plus dans la seconde moitié, mais ça reste anecdotique) j'ai souffert comme rarement dans un col.
Le début est moins raide, mais une fois qu'on est dans le dur, c'est jusqu'au bout.
Les pentes sont fortes, les quelques secteurs pour se reposer sont courts et aussitôt suivi par des pentes à 9-11%
L'arrivée au sommet est une libération (avec un bar pour se rafraichir)

Unanimously, the most difficult side of the Granier pass. One of the less frequented too (certainly for this reason :-)) The average percentages of the second part are telling, and moreover the slope is very irregular, very steep portions following easier ones. Unfortunately, the climb doesn't reveal many views, except at the beginning on the Montmélian cluse and at the very end on the very impressive Granier cliff, which dominates it all along.

Combined with the Cucheron pass towards Saint-Pierre-d'Entremont, then the Coq pass towards Saint-Hugues, this is an ideal outing to test your form... and your small brakets!

Be careful if you go downhill, it is very, very fast and the turns are often difficult to negotiate. Avoid it if you are not sure of your brakes.

À l'unanimité, le plus difficile des versants du col du Granier. Un des moins fréquentés également (certainement pour cette raison :-)) Les pourcentages moyens de la deuxième partie sont parlants, et de plus la pente est très irrégulière, des portions très pentues succédant à des passages plus faciles. Malheureusement, la montée ne dévoile que peu de points de vue, si ce n'est à son début sur la cluse de Montmélian et à la toute fin sur la très impressionnante falaise du Granier, qui le domine tout du long.

Enchaîné avec le col du Cucheron versant Saint-Pierre-d'Entremont, puis le col du Coq versant Saint-Hugues, cela donne une sortie idéale pour tester sa forme… et ses petits braquets !!

Attention si vous le faites dans le sens de la descente, c'est très, très rapide et les virages sont souvent difficiles à négocier. À éviter si vous n'êtes pas sûrs de vos freins.
