Irregular ascent, steep in places, with beautiful views of the Entremont valley at the beginning and end. As for the other side, it is imperative to keep your pedal to the metal, as this ascent is generally located between two others, most often the Col du Granier and the Col de Porte.

Irregular ascent, steep in places, with beautiful views of the Entremont valley at the beginning and end. As for the other side, it is imperative to keep your pedal to the metal, as this ascent is generally located between two others, most often the Col du Granier and the Col de Porte. At the foot of the climb, the village of Saint-Pierre-d'Entremont has the particularity of being split into two completely autonomous parts, one in Isère and the other in Savoie, on either side of the Guiers Vif river.

Ascension irrégulière, pentues par endroit, dégageant de belles vues sur la vallée d'Entremont à son début et à sa fin. Comme pour l'autre versant, il est impératif d'en garder sous la pédale, cette ascension étant généralement située entre deux autres, le plus souvent celle du col du Granier et celle du col de Porte. Au pied de la montée, le village de Saint-Pierre-d'Entremont a la particularité d'être scindé en deux parties complètement autonomes, l'une en Isère et l'autre en Savoie, de part et d'autre de la rivière du Guiers Vif.
