It's a very physically demanding pass. The uneven gradient is steep at times, with sections in excess of ten per cent for almost a kilometre. The views over the Arve valley are majestic. However, the pass is a dead end and must be climbed on the outward and return legs.... read more

It's a very physically demanding pass. The uneven gradient is steep at times, with sections in excess of ten per cent for almost a kilometre. The views over the Arve valley are majestic. However, the pass is a dead end and must be climbed on the outward and return legs.

C'est un col très exigent physiquement. la pente irrégulière est parfois raide avec des portions à plus de dix pourcents sur près d'un kilomètre. Les paysages sont majestueux sur la vallée de l'Arve. Cependant le col est un cul de sac et il faut le faire en aller retour.
