A pleasant climb, with an even gradient that's not too difficult. The surface is of good quality.... read more

Climbed on 1 July 2025 with the cycling club 'Les Potes de La Motte'. From the start it is a nice 20km climb not too difficult. We had very hot weather, so did a 'coffee stop' in La Chapelle-en-Vercors; also favourable to fill the water bottle as otherwise on the road no springs! Alpine meadows , little traffic, good road. On the way to the Col de Chau.....At the col car park for walks (no facilities)

Beklommen op 1 juli 2025 met de fietsclub 'Les Potes de La Motte'. Vanuit de start is het een mooie klim van 20 km niet al te moeilijk. Wij hadden zeer warm weer, dus een 'koffie stop' gedaan in La Chapelle-en-Vercors; ook gunstig om de bidon te vullen want verder op de weg geen bronnen! Alpenweiden , weinig verkeer, goede weg. Op weg naar de Col de Chau.....Op de col parkeerplaats voor wandelingen (geen faciliteiten)

The view over Vassieux from the top of the pass is nice, but the climb is nothing to write home about, so you'll want to use other routes to get up this side, unless you're already very tired.

La vue en haut du col sur Vassieux en sympa, mais la montée n’a rien de transcendant, privilégiez d’autres passages pour passer dans ce versant, sauf si vous êtes déjà très fatigué.

The best part is after la Chapelle. Gradual slope into the forest, and you emerge at the top into an open landscape of alpine meadows. There you can have a nice long run while enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Het mooiste deel ligt na la Chapelle. Geleidelijke helling in het bos, en je komt boven in een open landschap van alpenweiden. Daar kan je je lekker een eindje laten bollen terwijl je geniet van de mooie omgeving.

One of the least exciting little passes in the Vercors. Not far away, there are so many interesting climbs that I find it hard to recommend this one.
That is, only if you are in the area.

L’un des petits cols les moins excitants du Vercors. Pas loin, il existe tant d’ascensions intéressantes que j’ai du mal à conseiller celle ci.
Enfin, juste si vous êtes dans le coin.
