One of the pleasant routes from Albertville to Beaufort. We start with the Col de Montessuit, which I wrote about 6 months ago. Some fairly solid sections. The road deteriorates a little after Césarches.
A rather pleasant climb that offers a hell of a descent after the first pass. Worth seeing: "La Grange à Robert" and a cute little tunnel. Some pleasant views. Little traffic. Random, uneven pavement. The road authorities have had the good sense to throw astronomical quantities of gravel everywhere. Be careful if you're heading back down to Queige.
The second ascent to La Forclaz is easier than the Col de Montessuit.
The finish at the pass is a little disappointing.
All in all, a quiet and pleasant ascent, but there's a lot better around Albertville.
Une des routes agréables pour aller d’Albertville à Beaufort. On commence par le col de Montessuit sur lequel j’avais laissé quelques mots il y a 6 mois. Quelques passages assez solides. Une route qui se dégrade un peu après Césarches.
Une montée plutôt agréable qui nous offre une sacrée descente après le premier col. À voir : « la Grange à Robert » et un petit tunnel tout mignon. Quelques vues plaisantes. Peu de circulation. Un revêtement aléatoire et inégal. La voirie a eu la bonne idée de jeter des quantités astronomiques de gravillons partout. Attention, si vous redescendez sur Queige.
La seconde montée vers La Forclaz est plus facile que le col de Montessuit.
L’arrivée au col est un peu décevante.
En résumé, une ascension calme et sympathique, mais, il y a bien mieux dans les environs d’Albertville.
The longest of the variants and also the one with the most difference in altitude as there is a slight loss of altitude after the passage of the Montessuit pass.
There are some nice views and a nice little road after Arechettaz with a tunnel cut in the rock.

La plus longue de variantes et aussi celles qui a le plus de dénivelé car il y a une légère perte d'altitude après le passage du col de Montessuit .
Des jolies points de vues et une petite route sympa après Arechettaz avec le passage d'un tunnel taillé dans la roche.
Si vous venez séjourné du côté d'Albertville, cette ascension mérite un détour.
Le départ se situe à la Biolletta, direction Césarches, c'est à la sortie de la piste cyclable venant du camping d'Albertville en direction d'Ugine.
