Thoroughly excellent climb. First section has one or two very steep segments but after this everything is at a pleasant and manageable grade. Lovely, quiet road to the top with remarkable views when it's clear. There is also an excellent self service shop near the top but be sure to download Twint so you can pay for snacks and local wine.

Iconic scenery, very quiet roads, everything to please! However, the gradients are quite steep and the climbs uneven. You can approach Mont-Pélerin via Chardonne or Puidoux-Cremières, either way it's a real pleasure!

Paysages iconiques, routes très tranquilles, tout pour plaire ! Cependant les pourcentages sont assez sévères et la montée irrégulière. On peut aborder le Mont-Pélerin par Chardonne ou par Puidoux-Cremières, dans tous les cas c'est un vrai plaisir !

Mont Pèlerin is an iconic climb overlooking the northern shore of Lake Geneva and, with it, the world heritage of Lavaux. The broadcasting tower 'Plein Ciel' is easily recognisable at the top. Easily accessible from Chardonne (a little more traffic) or from Chexbres (towards Chardonne via Puidoux and Cremières). The road conditions are excellent and the view of Lake Geneva is splendid.

Le Mont Pèlerin est une montée iconique surplombant la rive nord du Lac Léman et, avec ça, le patrimoine mondial du Lavaux. On reconnaît facilement la tour de radiodiffusion 'Plein Ciel' au sommet. Facilement accessible depuis Chardonne (un peu plus de trafic) où depuis Chexbres (en direction Chardonne via Puidoux et Cremières). L'état de la route est excellent et la vue sur le Lac Léman est splendide.
