With a bit of training, the climb should be easy. I did it when I weighed 118 kilos, so I had a bit of a hard time of it, but I'll do it again this year! Great view from both sides!... read more

Great view from both sides!

Avec un peu d'entrainement, la montée doit être facile. Je l'ai faite alors que je pesais 118kilos, j'en ai forcément un peu bavé, mais je la referai cette année !
Super vue des deux cotés !

The Col du Chat, not to be confused with the Mont du Chat...
As difficult as the Mont is, this little pass is as cute as a kitten.
A short, rolling pass with an excellent surface and little traffic.

Le Col du Chat, à ne pas confondre avec le Mont du Chat…
Autant le Mont est difficile, autant ce petit col est aussi mignon qu’un chaton.
Col court et roulant, revêtement excellent, peu de circulation.

Not too complicated climb, sometimes nice view into the valley with vineyards and on a clear day the Grand Colombier is visible. Plenty of shade along the way and top 1 - 1.5km of new asphalt. Good climb to warm up for the more serious climbs in the area, like the Mont du Chat or the Mont Revard.

Niet al te ingewikkelde klim, af en toe mooi doorkijkje het dal met wijngaarden in en bij helder weer is de Grand Colombier te zien. Veel schaduw onderweg en bovenste 1 - 1,5km nieuw asfalt. Prima klim om op te warmen voor de serieuzere klimmen in de buurt, zoals de Mont du Chat of the Mont Revard.
