A pass that’s easy to tackle, even if you’ve already got several climbs under your belt. Long, rolling stretches in the first half let you easily rack up the kilometers, starting in a cool, shaded valley just outside St. Pierre d’Entremont. After passing throughEntremont-le-Vieux, the road climbs steeply toward the alpine pastures, offering beautiful views. After the final few kilometers that require a bit more effort, a break at the Auberge du Col du Granier is well worth it.... read more

Un col qui se négocie sans difficulté, même si vous avez déjà plusieurs ascensions dans les jambes. De longs passages roulants dans sa première moitié qui permettent d'avaler facilement les kilomètres, d'abord dans un vallon frais et ombragé à la sortie de St Pierre d'Entremont. Après la traversée d'Entremont-le-Vieux, la route se cabre pour gagner les alpages et offrir de jolies vues. Après les derniers kilomètres demandant un peu plus d'efforts, une pause à l'auberge du col du Granier est appréciable.

The "easiest" side of the Granier pass... and the one I like the least. Quite busy, irregular but never very steep, it suffers from the comparison with the other, more athletic slopes (especially the Chapareillan one).

On the other hand, there is a beautiful panorama over the Entremonts valley when you reach the last few kilometres.

For tourists, when passing Entremont-le-Vieux, don't miss the cave bear museum and the nearby cheese factory.

Le plus « facile » des versants du col du Granier… et celui que j'aime le moins. Assez fréquenté, irrégulier mais jamais très raide, il souffre de la comparaison avec les autres versants, plus sportifs (notamment celui de Chapareillan).

En revanche, un beau panorama se dégage sur la vallée des Entremonts lorsqu'on arrive dans les derniers kilomètres.

Pour les touristes, au passage d'Entremont-le-Vieux, ne pas manquer de visiter le musée de l'ours des cavernes et la fromagerie voisine.
