I didi this in the well know Col de Pillon, Col de la Croix and Col des Mosses which is a good route from Aigle. The climb up Col des Mosses is on wide but busy roads. Its wasnt too busy when I went as I ended there late in the afternoon so it was OK, but still fairly busy. It felt OK as the road is wide enough. The top os a huge open parking area. The best thing about this climb for me is the descent down to Aigle again - its a fantastic. Enjoy!!

An easy climb in a pretty setting. However, beware of the heavy traffic at weekends, especially motorcyclists. You won't hear the birds very often!
