Leaving the heart of Thônes the climb is slightly tougher, as you have to tackle the first slopes of the Col de la Croix Fry, which are not to be overlooked, but that's just the beginning as the real menu begins once you leave this Rte for that of Les Pohets where the steep slopes begin.
3.2km at an average of 12.2%, on the whole the slope is steady and only passages at 10-11 "allow" to recover.
The start is in full sun and the finish rather in the shade of trees, the traffic is modest, the tarmac good and once at the top the scenery magnificent.
For the icing on the cake, you have to finish the short concrete section of around 150M to the chalet (gradient between 15 and 18% ), which hurts!
You'll have understood, the use of very small developments is essential to tackle this place.

En partant du cœur de Thônes l'ascension est légèrement plus corsée, car il faudra affronter les premières pentes du col de la Croix Fry qui ne sont pas à négliger, mais ce n'est que le début car le véritable menu commence une fois quitté cette Rte pour celle des Pohets que les pentes abruptes commencent.
3,2km à 12,2% moyenne, dans l'ensemble la pente est régulière et seulement des passages à 10-11 "permettent" de récupérer.
Le début est en plein soleil et le final plutôt à l'ombre des arbres, la circulation est modeste, le bitume bon et une fois au sommet les paysages magnifiques.
Pour la cerise sur le gâteau il faut finir la petite portion en béton environ 150M jusqu'au chalet ( pente entre 15 et 18% ) ça fait mal!
Vous l'aurez compris , l'usage de très petits développements s'impose pour affronter ce lieu.

It's not a very long climb, but it's a tough one! The slope is very regular but also very steep.

La monté n'est, certes, pas très longue mais ô combien difficile ! La pente est très régulière mais aussi très forte.
