On the pass or at the alpage de Biolley there is the possibility to stop for refreshments. The only slight downer is the rather poor view at the top of the pass. Nevertheless, the ascent to the Col des Planches is highly recommended!... read more

Beautiful ascent. The road is not very busy and leads through the forest and two charming little villages. On the pass or at the alpage de Biolley there is the possibility to stop for refreshments. The only slight downer is the rather poor view at the top of the pass. Nevertheless, the ascent to the Col des Planches is highly recommended!
Schöner Anstieg. Die Strasse ist wenig befahren und führt durch den Wald und zwei kleine charmante Dörfer. Auf den Pass oder beim alpage de Biolley gibt es die Möglichkeit sich zu verpflegen. Einziger kleiner wehmutstropfen ist die eher mickrige Aussicht oben am Pass. Trotzdem ist der Aufstieg zum Col des Planches absolut empfehlenswert !
Vicious climb that hurts a lot especially in the first kms. The many hairpin bends do make it a bit more pleasant. At the top you can continue unpaved to Col du Lein. Highly recommended!
Venijnige klim die vooral in de eerste kms flink pijn doet. De vele haarspeldbochten maken het wel iets aangenamer. Op de top kan je onverhard verder naar oa. Col du Lein. Aanrader!
Very tough first kilometre, where the gradient is well into the double digits. After that, it slows down a bit, but it doesn't get any easier. Only towards the end does the climb become a bit wavy, steep alternating with (almost) flat. Meanwhile, you have a beautiful view, so definitely recommended!
Zeer pittige eerste kilometer, waar het stijgingspercentage ruim in de dubbele cijfers gaat. Daarna zakt het iets af, maar gemakkelijk wordt het niet. Pas naar het einde toe gaat de klim een beetje golvend omhoog, steil afgewisseld met (bijna) vlak. Ondertussen heb je een prachtig uitzicht, dus zeker een aanrader!
Col des Planches, the Col runs from Martigny at 471m with an average gradient of about 9％, Don’t underestimate how difficult this climb is. Road surface great and minimal traffic. Cafe sign at the top if you need refreshments.
Enjoy. ❤️💪🏼🚴🏽♂️
Superb ascent, a must if you are in the region and like steep climbs. The foot is at a roundabout (see photo), then from the start the slope is very steep. The view over the Rhone valley is superb, especially in the first part of the climb, where the steepest part is also located (16％). Afterwards, the route continues to climb steadily. At the top, there is a possibility to continue to the Lein Pass, but this part of the route is much worse.
Superbe ascension, incontournable si on est dans la région et qu'on aime les dénivelés. Le pied se trouve au niveau d'un rond point (voir photo), puis dès le départ la pente est très forte. La vue sur la vallée du Rhône est superbe, surtout dans la première partie de l'ascension, où se trouve également la partie la plus raide (16％). Ensuite, la route continue à monter de façon constante. Au sommet, possibilité de poursuivre vers le col du Lein, mais cette partie de la route est nettement plus mauvaise
