This is the steepest slope on the Col de Bluffy. It's ideal for a hill workout to get used to a steady, sustained gradient.

C'est le versant le plus raide du col de bluffy. il est idéal pour une séance de fractionné en côte pour s'habituer à une pente soutenue et régulière.

Good climb to test yourself with the percentages and not the length as it's quite short. In the end it climbs well and fairly quickly despite the 8% percentages and even if you've done the Col de la Forclaz before like me. The descent is also nice when the road isn't wet.

Bonne montée pour se tester aux pourcentages et non à la longueur car elle est assez courte. Au final ça se monte bien et assez rapidement malgré les pourcentages à 8% et même si vous avez fait le col de la Forclaz avant comme moi. La descente est aussi sympa quand la route n'est pas mouillée.

Nice climb following the Nant des Charmières in the forest.
To be avoided during the tourist season as many motorists go to the Chateau de Menthon.

Montée sympa qui suit le Nant des Charmières dans la forêt.
A éviter en période touristique car beaucoup d'automobiliste se rende au Chateau de Menthon.

Great view of the lake and the castle of Menthon. If you leave from Annecy and want to do the Col de la Forclaz, it would be a shame not to do it first. No particular difficulty to report. And for those who like to take their time, there is a lookout point and a car park along the way to take in the sights and to rest a little.

Superbe vue sur le lac et sur le château de Menthon. Si vous partez d'Annecy et que vous voulez faire le col de la Forclaz, il serait dommage de ne pas le faire avant. Pas de difficulté particulière à signaler. Et pour ceux qui aiment prendre le temps, belvédère, parking sur le parcours pour en prendre plein les yeux et ou se reposer un peu.

Nice warm-up for the Col de la Forclaz. Nothing special. In the beginning quite some traffic.

Leuke opwarmer voor de Col de la Forclaz. Verder niets bijzonders. In het begin nog aardig wat verkeer.
