A small variation to get away from the shores of the busy lake, without having to tackle the tough local passes.

Petite variation pour s' éloigner des rives du lac chargées sans pour autant se lancer dans les cols usants du coin.

A nice prologue for the real Cols that await you in Haute Savoie.

Admittedly, it's the smallest pass in Haute Savoie, but it's ideal for training uphill intensities thanks to its regular gradient. It can also be used as a warm-up for the croix fry, forclaz de montmin or marais passes. The view of the Château de Menthon is magnificent.

Certes, c'est le plus petit col de Haute Savoie, mais il est idéal pour s'entraîner sur des intensités en côte avec son pourcentage régulier. Ce col peut également faire office d'échauffement pour enchaîner sur le col de la croix fry, de la forclaz de montmin ou du marais. La vue sur le château de menthon est magnifique.

This climb doesn't present any particular difficulty, it's quite easy. It never climbs very steeply, but I liked the little road that winds around the edge of the mountain with the low wall. Personally, I have very few cars, which is why you have to go up it in the morning. Clearly it's a nice thing to do if you live or stay in Veyrier, as it's easy to get to.

Cette montée ne présente pas de difficulté particulière, c'est assez facile. Ca ne monte jamais très fort mais j'ai bien aimé la petite route qui serpente au bord de la montagne avec le petit muret. Personnellement, je n'ai que très peu de voitures, c'est pourquoi il faut la monter le matin. C'est clair que c'est sympa à faire si tu habites ou loges à Veyrier car c'est facile d'accès.

We quickly leave the cycle path and find ourselves on a big rocky outcrop, the view is beautiful but not as good as others. The not-so-high gradients don't make for a particularly interesting climb.

On quitte rapidement la piste cyclable pour se retrouver sur une grosse roite, la vue au final est belle mais pas autant que d’autre. Les pourcentages pas très élevé n’ont font pas une montée particulièrement intéressante.

Easy climb, good variant to go around the lake.
The slope is gentle but the traffic can be heavy, so I would not recommend for a beginner as there is no cycle lane on the first part of the climb.

Montée facile, bonne variante pour faire le tour du lac.
La pente est faible mais le trafic peut être important, donc je ne recommanderai pour un débutant car pas de bande cicliste sur la première partie de montée

A simple climb, without any major difficulties. Lots of traffic. A normal surface. You can see the magnificent castle of Menthon towering over the lake but nothing more interesting. There are much better things around, such as the Semnoz.

Une montée simple, sans grande difficultés. Beaucoup de traffic. Un revêtement normal. On peut apercevoir le magnifique château de Menthon trônant sur le lac mais rien de plus interressant. Il y a bien mieux autour, comme le Semnoz en autre.
