I can confirm what I said in my previous comment, that the climb can indeed be done on a road bike, but then it's very risky on the descent. I've posted photos showing the state of the road, which is like this for 3/4 of it when there aren't huge potholes. Sometimes you have to go down to the right and sometimes to the left, it took me 55 minutes to go down 16km, on an 8% gradient, which is an understatement, when I exceeded 20km/h I was happy. ... read more

An interesting climb from a sporting point of view and because of the peace and quiet, but there are few or no panoramic views apart from the last kilometre. Lastly, it should only be considered with a mountain bike or gravel bike, as the degraded surface makes the descent very complicated and even dangerous.

Montée intéressante sportivement et du fait de la tranquillité, cependant on note peu ou pas de points de vue panoramiques en dehors du dernier kilomètre. Enfin, à n'envisager qu'avec un VTT ou un gravel car le revêtement dégradé rend la descente très compliquée voire dangereuse.

Je confirme ce que j'ai mis dans mon commentaire précédent, l'ascension effectivement peut-être effectuée en vélo de Rte mais ensuite c'est très risqué lors de la descente.
J'ai posté des photos avec l'état de la Rte qui est comme ça sur les 3/4 quand ce n'est pas d'énormes nids de poule.
Il faut descendre parfois à droite et parfois à gauche, j'ai mis 55min pour descendre 16Km, dans une pente à 8% c'est peu dire, quand je dépassais 20km/h j'étais content.

Looking at the profile you would think it was a beautiful, sporty and magnificent climb, but it is not, I live 3km from the foot of the hill and don't try it, or at least not on an ordinary road bike, at the very least with a gravel bike or better a mountain bike.
I went there about fifteen years ago and on the descent I blew a tyre, always on the brakes to avoid potholes and other traps.
I have a neighbour who has a summer house a few miles from the summit and he said that the road has never been maintained, in some places there is not even any tarmac left.
The total is not 12,9km as indicated but almost 16Km with 1300M of ascent.
It's a shame because the views from the Chalet de L'Ebaudiaz are superb, you can see Lake Annecy on the other side of the Bauges massif.
A goat farmer is also present during the summer season and sells cheese.

A voire le profil on serait tenté de croire que c'est une très belle ascension, sportive et magnifique mais il n'en est rien, j'habite à 3km du pied et surtout ne tentez pas l'aventure, ou tout du moins pas en vélo de route ordinaire, à la limite avec un Gravel ou mieux un VTT.
J'y suis allé il y a maintenant une quinzaine d'années et dans la descente j'ai explosé un pneu, toujours sur les freins à éviter les nids de poule et autres pièges.
J'ai un voisin qui à une habitation d'été à quelques kilomètres du sommet et il m'a dit que la route n'a jamais été entretenue, par endroits il n'y a même plus de goudron.
Le total ne fait pas 12,9kmcomme indiqué mais presque 16Km avec 1300M de dénivelé.
C’est vraiment dommage car les vues depuis le Chalet de L’Ebaudiaz sont superbes, on arrive à apercevoir le lac d’Annecy de l’autre côté du massif des Bauges.
Un éleveur de chèvres est aussi présent toute la belle saison avec vente de fromages.
