The first part of the ascent is shared with the Col de Plainpalais until you branch off 700m from the summit. After that, the slope becomes gentler, traffic calms down and you can enjoy the sunshine of the mountain pastures or the shade of the Revard forest. The view from the summit is exceptional, as you arrive at the famous Mont Revard lookout point. The view stretches from the Jura to Mont Blanc in fine weather, taking in Lac du Bourget, the Chartreuse, Bellledonne and the Bauges.... read more

La première partie de l'ascension est commune avec le col de Plainpalais jusqu'à bifurquer à gauche à 700m du sommet. Ensuite, la pente s'adoucie, la circulation se calme, et on évolue aussi bien exposé au soleil dans les alpages, qu'à l'ombre dans la forêt du Revard. La vue au sommet est exceptionnelle puisqu'on arrive au fameux belvédère du Mont Revard. La vue s'étend du Jura au Mont Blanc si le grand beau temps est de la partie, en passant par le lac du Bourget, la Chartreuse, Bellledonne et les Bauges.

A much longer climb than on the Aix les Bains side.
Interesting although not as pretty as the other side, the gradients remain fairly gentle throughout the climb.

Ascension beaucoup plus longue que par le côté Aix les Bains.
Intéressante bien que moins jolie que par l'autre côté, les pourcentages restent assez doux tout le long de cette montée

On 11-06 I climbed the Mont Revard according to the route mentioned here. I don't have the idea that this is an official climb (there are no markings and/or signs anywhere). In terms of experience it is a special climb. The first kilometers you ride on a busy road with accompanying exhaust fumes (nasty!). The ascent is irregular, sometimes quite steep. Then it becomes more constant (6-7%) and you have occasionally beautiful views. The best part starts when you turn left at La Combe. Along picturesque houses it goes steep up. The last kilometers from ski village La Feclaz are not much, at the end you can turn left at the junction to a lookout point. The feeling of a real 'top' is missing with this climb.

Op 11-06 de Mont Revard beklommen volgens de route zoals deze hier staat aangegeven. Ik heb niet het idee dat dit een officiele klim is (er staan nergens markeringen en/of bordjes). Qua beleving een aparte klim. De eerste kilometers rij je op een drukke weg met bijbehorende uitlaatgassen (smerig!). De stijging is onregelmatig, soms best stijl. Daarna wordt het constanter (6-7%) en heb je af en toe mooie vergezichten. Het mooiste gedeelte begint als je linksaf slaat bij La Combe. Langs schilderachtige huisjes gaat het stijl omhoog. De laatste kilometers vanaf skidorp La Feclaz stellen niet veel voor, op het einde kan je bij de kruising linksaf naar een uitkijkpunt. Het gevoel van een echte 'top' ontbreekt bij deze klim.
