The last kilometre with atrocious gradients, much harder than what you can see from the profile, very irregular, the hardest kilometre of my life (I find it as hard or even harder than the super planche des belles filles).... read more

Yes, the end is terrible! Climbing up at the end of the day, you come across cows running free on the road. At the top, the view is worth the effort.
I preferred this side. We attack directly the ascent.

Climbing the Mont d'Or road (the hardest road), the first two kilometers are already hard but the last one is a real calamity. Very irregular but still with big gradients. Finally when you are at the top if you walk a little you will have a magnificent view on the cliffs. And be careful not to underestimate the heat because the last two kilometers are in the mountain pastures exposed to the west.

Beautiful scenery at the top, but you have to earn it. You can arrive by several roads but from La Grangette, you will not be able to escape this atrocious passage at more than 17％ after 500 meters, you might think you have arrived but the last 300 meters flat is in fact at 13％ fortunately you will be able to admire thanks to a wonderful panorama, at the same time the Swiss, French valleys, the Chasseron and if you are lucky with the weather maybe also the mont blanc. In short I recommend to everyone to do at least once this climb by bike.
Ps: think to take a small development from the beginning.
