Quiet ascent from Taninges on the Route de Rond, away from the traffic on the Route des Gets.

Beautiful climb with tough start. Started myself from Taninges via D307. Very little car traffic, beautiful countryside.

Ridden from the junction with the Col de la Ramaz. Nice col, not too difficult, even a bit of a descent in it and a steeper bit just before the top. Nice but not special.
