A fine, very steady stage at 10%. The view is well worth the diversions. The tarmac is average, with lots of small stones that have fallen from the cliffs.... read more

Une belle étape très régulière à 10%. La vue en vaut le détour. L’enrobé est moyen avec beaucoup de petits cailloux tombés de la falaise.

A very steep ascent on not very good tarmac, but a classic of the canton of Vaud to do because it's cool to get to the top at the chalet with a superb view of Switzerland.

Monter très raide avec un goudron pas top, mais un classique du canton de Vaud à faire car cool arriver au sommet au chalet superbe vue sur la Suisse

Frequently Asked Questions

Le Suchet is a challenging ascent. For this type of climbing, we recommend mountain gearing, specifically a compact system. This means a small front chainring of 34 teeth, combined with a rear cassette where, depending on your level, strength, and experience, you choose a sprocket with 30, 32, or even 34 teeth. Remember that a smooth cadence is always more efficient!

Le Suchet is a first-category climb: long and tough. Do not underestimate this climb. Many famous Tour de France cols fall into this category. Prepare for a long, challenging ride.
