3.0 by elbowboyThis is an automatic translation, the original language is: French.3 stars means 5 stars up to the Pautex car park and 1 star from there. The route de Blonay that you take from Vevey and which crosses the Tour de Peilz is wide and of good quality. The profile is moderate (6-8％) apart from the last kilometre towards Blonay. Then you climb the route des Pléiades towards Alliaz. This part is a little steeper but the road is excellent. From Vevey to Blonay there is quite a bit of traffic, which gradually diminishes.

3 stars means 5 stars up to the Pautex car park and 1 star from there. The route de Blonay that you take from Vevey and which crosses the Tour de Peilz is wide and of good quality. The profile is moderate (6-8％) apart from the last kilometre towards Blonay. Then you climb the route des Pléiades towards Alliaz. This part is a little steeper but the road is excellent. From Vevey to Blonay there is quite a bit of traffic, which gradually diminishes. At Alliaz, we continue on the route de Pautex at around 9-10％. Here, the climb is pretty with little traffic and a great view. You arrive at the Pautex car park where you can turn left to get to Les Pléiades which is to be recommended. If you turn right onto the route de St Hélène, the road becomes very bad for the rest of the climb. To be absolutely clear, I wouldn't recommend going up on a racing bike - I've tried it and it works, but it's no fun. A Gravel would be more suitable. We follow the path to the Alpage de la Neuve. From there, you ride for a few kilometres on a false flat, as if on a small plateau, before the slope picks up again for a few hundred metres. At the top, there is a cul de sac with no particular view.
3 étoiles, ça veut dire : 5 étoiles jusqu'au parking de Pautex et 1 étoiles à partir de là. La route de Blonay qu'on emprunte depuis Vevey et qui traverse la Tour de Peilz est large et de bonne qualité. Le profil est modéré (6-8％) hormis le dernier kilomètre vers Blonay. Puis, on monte la route des Pléiades vers Alliaz. Cette partie est un peu plus raide mais la route est excellente. De Vevey jusqu'à Blonay il n'y a pas mal de trafic, qui diminue progressivement. A Alliaz, on continue sur la route de Pautex à environ 9-10％. Ici, la montée est jolie avec peu de trafic et une belle vue. On arrive au parking de Pautex où on peut prendre à gauche pour arriver aux Pléiades ce qui est à recommander. Si on prend à droite dans la route de St Hélène, l'état de la route devient très mauvais pour le reste de l'ascension. Pour être formel, je ne recommanderais pas d'y monter avec le vélo de course, je l'ai essayé, ça marche mais sans faire plaisir. Un Gravel serait plus adéquat. On suit le chemin vers l'alpage de la Neuve. À partir de là, on fait quelques kilomètres sur un faux plat, comme sur un petit plateau avant que ka pente reprenne pour quelques centaines de mètres. En haut, on trouve un cul de sac, sans vue particulière.
