A very pleasant climb, but quite difficult on the second part with ramps of 15-18 ％, also the possibility of starting the climb by Moreillon which is on the Lac de Bret side, and indeed you can combine Mont Chesaux with the Côte de Bellevue or with the climb to Chardonne from Vevey for those who come from the Riviera.
Petite montée très sympa a faire, mais assez difficile sur la deuxième partie avec des rampes de 15-18 ％, également la possibilité de commencer la montée par Moreillon qui ce trouve côté Lac de Bret, et effectivement on peut combiner le Mont Chesaux avec la Côte de Bellevue ou avec la montée sur Chardonne depuis Vevey pour ceux qu'ils viennent de la Riviera
Mont Chesau is directly adjacent to the west side of Mont Pèlerin and is well worth a diversion, even if it is a little less spectacular. I would recommend crossing the motorway at Chexbres (accessible, for example, via the Corniche, which is extraordinary). The climb in the strict sense begins when you cross the Corbéron. Initially it's not too complicated but the second part becomes more difficult as the gradient remains at least 12-13％ with even steeper ramps added on. The last part is easy and there is a refreshment bar at the top which is very nice for a quick coffee. The tarmac is pretty good without too many potholes. The view of the lake from the top is excellent.
Le Mont Chesau est directement adjacent au côté ouest du Mont Pèlerin et vaut bien un détour, même s'il est un peu moins spectaculaire. Je recommanderais de traverser l'autoroute à Chexbres (accessible p.ex. via la Corniche qui est extraordinaire). La montée au sens strict commence lorsqu'on traverse le Corbéron. Initialement elle n'est pas trop compliquée mais la deuxième partie devient plus difficile puisque la pente reste au moins à 12-13％ avec des rampes encore plus raides surajoutées. La dernière partie est facile et on trouve une buvette en haut qui est très sympa pour un petit café. Le macadam est assez bien sans trop de nids de poule. En ascendant, la vue sur le lac est excellente.
Tough little climb, very punchy with just enough incline between ramps to stop you catching your breath. First very steep section felt even a little harder than the final one, but they both show here as 17/18％. Rewarding view from the top, excellent roadside cows, cute restaurant, really all you can ask for in a little climb. Also pairs nicely with the Cote de Bellvue if you're starting from Lac Leman.
If you want to test your calf strength, go for it!
Alpine restaurant at the summit (open in summer).
To be combined with a nice hike in the region.
Si vous voulez tester la forces de vos mollets, allez-y !
Restaurant d'alpage au sommet ( ouvert en été).
A combiner avec une belle randonnée dans la région
