Climb with Éric on 17 July just after the Granier via Chambéry. A short stop at the Entremont bakery and cake shop at the foot of the pass. We found the ascent of this slope quite complicated, alternating moments of recovery with several relatively steep sections, particularly when crossing the village of Entremont Station, where there is a fresh drinking water reservoir on the left.

Climb with Éric on 17 July just after the Granier via Chambéry.
A short stop at the Entremont bakery and cake shop at the foot of the pass.
We found the ascent of this slope quite complicated, alternating moments of recovery with several relatively steep sections, particularly when crossing the village of Entremont Station, where there is a fresh drinking water reservoir on the left.
At the top it's Désert, the name of the place, and you can tell because it's.... completely deserted. We looked for the sign indicating the Col for the traditional photo, but at the Auberge we were told that there was none.
The scenery is beautiful, with a view of the village of Entremont le Vieux at the start and the Chartreuse massif at the summit.
To conclude: A good little pass located away from the main road that links Chambéry to Grenoble and crosses the Chartreuse from north to south.
The Col de la Cluse should be included in a loop, Granier, Cluse, Égaux.

Ascension effectuée avec Éric le 17 juillet juste après le Granier par Chambéry.
Petite halte à la boulangerie pâtisserie de Entremont qui se situe au pied du col.
Nous avons trouvés L'Ascension de ce versant assez compliqué car alternant des moments de récupérations avec plusieurs passages relativement pentus notamment lors de la traversée du village D'Entremont Station où il y a un bassin d'eau potable et fraîche sur la gauche.
Au sommet c'est Désert du nom de l'endroit et on s'en rend compte puisque c'est.... complètement désert, nous avons chercher le panneau indiquant le Col pour la traditionnelle photo mais à l'Auberge on nous a confirmé qu'il n'y en avait pas.
Les paysages sont beaux, au départ vue sur le village D'Entremont le vieux et au sommet sur la massif de la Chartreuse.
Pour conclure : Un bon petit col situé à l'écart de la Rte principale qui relie Chambéry à Grenoble et qui traverse la Chartreuse du Nord au Sud.
Le col de la Cluse est à inclure dans une boucle , Granier, Cluse, Égaux.

This climb is worth the detour for several reasons. Wild roads, picturesque landscapes, and demanding gradients...
To be placed in a multi-pitch outing (Granier, Cucheron,...)
