In terms of percentages and length a nice col, but on this side only the first and last 5km are worthwhile. From your route the Cohennoz leaves is actually a 'route forestiere' and the road itself is closed. I rode on and if you are a bit adventurous it is quite a nice climb. You are constantly in the forest on a bad road where in some parts the asphalt is washed away until you reach ski resort of Bisanne 1500. From there the road is wide until 2km from the top where you turn onto the ski slope where you only have to watch out for hikers and cyclists. Last 2km are the trickiest with percentages above 10％ but with beautiful views of the ski resorts and Mont Blanc. Better from Quiege or Villard.
