The section below Crest Volant is fairly monotonous but in the shade. Once you reach the village, the view opens up and becomes very beautiful as you climb (it's quite steep above Crest Volant). Then a flat area and a short descent before the last two km.

Itinéraire emprunté par le TDF 2025 (beaucoup de portions de route ont été refaites pour l’occasion)
La partie sous Crest Volant est assez monotone mais est à l’ombre. Arrivé au village la vue se dégage et devient très belle y fut et à mesure qu on monte (c’est assez soutenu au dessus de Crest Volant). Puis replat et petite descente avant les deux derniers km.
Un gros avantage par rapport la montée par ND de Bellecombe : c’est beaucoup moins fréquenté par les voitures !
A beautiful, difficult climb where the first 5 kilometres are the most important, as they determine your pace and your health on the way up. The road is beautiful, recently resurfaced for the Tour de France, with lots of cool shady sections. The sation des Sasies is exhilarating, but doesn't blend into the landscape.
Belle montée difficile ou les 5 premiers kilometres sont les plus important, il contitionnent votre rythme et votre santé dans la montée. La route est belle, refaite récement pour le tour de France avec beaucoup de parties ombragée fraiches. La sation des Sasies est grisante, ne s’imprègne pas dans le paysage
I didn't really like this climb. The road surface was also mediocre in some parts. You reach the top of a somewhat ugly ski resort. There are much nicer climbs nearby.
Ik vond dit niet zo'n mooie klim. Het wegdek lag er op sommige stukken ook maar matig bij. Je komt boven bij een ietwat lelijk skigebied. Er zijn veel mooiere beklimmingen in de buurt.
Climbed this side from Annecy. The climbing actually starts from Ugine. Until Flons, you ride on a relatively busy road gradually upwards (this part is not in this profile). Beautiful road along the river, with one or two tunnels. 4 km before Flumet you can turn right over a bridge and start to climb according to the profile. Profile shows it's a tough climb, with flat parts in Crest-Voland and a few kilometers after this village. Until Crest-Voland you climb between the trees and this can cool down in hot summers, but it takes away the view. After Crest-Voland you have beautiful views and after the first kilometers after the village (steep kilometers), the last part is somewhat easier. Ski resort Les Saisies itself is barren and gray.
Deze kant beklommen vanuit Annecy. Het klimmen begint eigenlijk al vanaf Ugine. Tot aan Flons rij je op relatief drukke weg geleidelijk omhoog (dit stuk zit niet in dit profiel). Wel prachtige weg langs de rivier, met een enkele tunnel. 4 km voor Flumet kun je naar rechts over brug en begint je te klimmen conform profiel. Profiel laat zien dat het een stevige klim is, met vlakke stukken in Crest-Voland en een paar kilometer na dit dorp. Tot aan Crest-Voland klim je tussen de bomen en dit kan in hete zomers verkoelend werken, maar neemt uitzicht wel weg. Na Crest-Voland heb je prachtige vergezichten en na de eerste kilometers na het dorp (steile kilometers) wordt het laatste deel wat eenvoudiger. Ski-oord Les Saisies is zelf kaal en grijs.
