Last year I did this climb from Gresy-sur-Aix, north of Aix-les-Bains. Around 7 am 's I started climbing because of the expected heat (38 degrees). At the beginning it is a bit of a search which way to go, but from Trevignin on it becomes clear. Climb is nice and gradual along a single ski-lift to a panorama view. From here a beautiful view over Aix-les-Bains (to what extent Aix-les-Bains is beautiful). The lake of lac du Bourget is in any case beautiful. During the descent (on the same sid... read more

A nice, steady climb with plenty of shade, especially in the middle section! Average traffic but a wide road, so nothing to worry about!

Belle ascension bien régulière et relativement ombragée, surtout sur la partie centrale ! Circulation moyenne mais route large donc pas de soucis à se faire !

Beautiful and quite long climb with great views of the lake at the top. The first part goes up around 8％ through the forest. There is some traffic, but I did not find it hugely disturbing. The road surface is good, the descent on the other side is worse with potholes (be careful!). Do ride the climb all the way to the top, the views to Aix-les-Bains are only there.

Mooie en vrij lange klim met bovenop een geweldig uitzicht op het meer. Het eerste deel gaat zo rond de 8％ omhoog door het bos. Er is wat verkeer, maar enorm storend vond ik het niet. Het wegdek is goed, de afdaling aan de andere kant is slechter met putten (oppassen!). Rij de klim wel helemaal door tot aan de top, de uitzichten naar Aix-les-Bains zijn alleen daar.

Nice climb, quite steady with percentages of 5 to 8 mostly and 9 or 10 as maximum. There is a lot of shadow on the road. It can be a bit busy with cars and motorbikes. The view from the top on the lake and the mountains is magnificent.

A fine climb, especially towards the end; the start in the town is not the most pleasant when it's busy.

Belle montée, surtout vers la fin, le début en ville n'est pas des plus agréables en cas de forte fréquentation.

Also started from Gresy-sur-Aix. I started with equal a steep climb and then I imagined myself in real French farmland. Somewhere I must have missed a turn-off. Cycled about 8 km wrong. For convenience, I blamed Google maps. Once back on the route I could whistle again. At the summit a big tourist event. Besides a shop selling well-meaning rubbish, the restaurant was only accessible if you had reservations. Enjoyed the view though. You look in all directions at another mountain. If you're in the area it's worth it.

Ook vanuit Gresy-sur-Aix gestart. Ik begon met gelijke een flinke stijging en daarna waande ik me in het echte Franse boerenland. Ergens moet ik een afslag gemist hebben. Ben ongeveer 8 km fout gefietst. Voor het gemak heb ik Google maps de schuld gegeven. Eenmaal weer op de route kon ik weer fluiten. Op de top een groot toeristen gebeuren. Naast een winkel met goed bedoelde rotzooi was het restaurant alleen toegankelijk als je gereserveerd had. Wel genoten van het uitzicht. Je kijkt alle kanten naar een andere berg kijken. Als je in de buurt bent is het de moeite.

Nice climb and especially liked the view at the top. Was clear and sunny so you could see Belledonne, Mont Blanc, Chartreuse and all of Lac du Bourget. Glass panels indicated which mountains you were looking at. Good wide roads. Started early ~ 8:30 with little traffic. In descent already got a lot busier. Beautiful ride!

Lekkere klim en vooral het uitzicht op de top mooi. Was helder en zonnig waardoor je de Belledonne, Mont Blanc, Chartreuse en heel Lac du Bourget kon zien. Glazen panelen geven aan naar welke bergen je kijkt. Goede brede wegen. Starte vroeg ~ 8:30 met weinig verkeer. In afdaling werd al stuk drukker. Mooie tocht!

Long even climb. Started in the heat, but luckily it cooled down a bit. Unfortunately the last 2 km we didn't see anything due to very dense fog. The weather changed three times at the top so I could still enjoy the view.

Lange gelijkmatige klim. Begonnen in de hitte, maar gelukkig koelde het wat af. Helaas de laatste 2 km niks gezien vanwege zeer dichte mist. Het weer is op de top drie keer veranderd dus nog wel kunnen genieten van het uitzicht.

If you are in Aix-les-Bains is definitely a must, especially if you do not see the more difficult Mont du Chat.

Vorig jaar deze klim verreden vanuit Gresy-sur-Aix, ten noorden van Aix-les-Bains. Rond 7 uur 's ochtends begonnen met klimme nin verband met de verwachte hitte (38 graden). Aan het begin is het nog een beetje zoeken bij de dorpjes welke kant je op moet, maar vanaf Trevignin wordt het duidelijk. Klim loopt mooi geleidelijk langs een enkele ski-lift naar een panorama view. Vanuit hier een prachtig uitzicht over Aix-les-Bains (in hoeverre Aix-les-Bains prachtig is). Het meer van lac du Bourget is in ieder geval prachtig. Tijdens de afdaling(aan dezelfde kant van de berg) werd het al drukker met wielertoeristen uit Aix-les-Bains, maar ook zeker met auto's. Als je in Aix-les-Bains bent is het zeker een aanrader, vooral als je de lastigere Mont du Chat niet ziet zitten.

This climb last year in August done late in the evening.
You must really search to find it, it is super quiet and drive in the beginning between the houses.
I myself started even lower, really from Aix les Bains.
Nice ongoing climb, however, you always look at a mountain wall in the distance. My cycling heart wants to go even higher, but that was not possible without MTB. Nice to have done, but nothing more.
If you really want to do a long tour, you can even cycle towards the Semnoz, but you have to go back sometime.

Deze klim vorig jaar augustus gedaan laat in de avond.
Je moet echt zoeken om deze te vinden, het is er super rustig en rijd in het begin tussen de huizen.
Zelf ben ik nog lager begonnen, echt vanuit Aix les Bains.
Mooie lopende klim, echter kijk je telkens tegen een bergwand aan in de verte. Mijn fietshart wilt dan toch nog hoger, maar dat was zonder MTB niet te doen. Leuk om gedaan te hebben, maar meer ook niet.
Als je echt een lange tour wilt doen kun je zelfs richting de Semnoz fietsen, maar je moet ooit ook nog eens terug.
