We did this climb from Aix- les- bains after Col de Sapenay. It’s worth taking a slight detour at the « Col «  marker to the Belvedere which is just additional short climb for magnificent lake (Lac du bourget) views.... read more

This is a less strenuous variant of the Chambotte,at least if you start as indicated here,if you take the Route du Mognard just before the starting point,then you get a few hundred metres of double gradients(max15％),at crossroads with major road to Annecy it becomes much gentler.

Dit is een minder zwaardere variant van de Chambotte,tenminste als je begint zoals hier aangegeven,als je de Route du Mognard net voor het startpunt meeneemt,dan krijg je er paar honderden meters aan dubbele stijgingspercentages bij(max15％),bij kruisen met grote weg naar Annecy wordt het veel zachter.
