5.0 by DevinThis is an automatic translation, the original language is: Dutch.Did a variance on this climb a couple of years back, we left from Servoz and so turned right at La Motte to start this climb, but continued in Plateau-d'Assy to the main road D43. From here it is a nice climb that takes you through the woods with quite a few hairpin turns. Tip: When you get to the top, continue for a while and after a short descent you will come to the beautiful Lac Vert (the green lake, see photo).

Did a variance on this climb a couple of years back, we left from Servoz and so turned right at La Motte to start this climb, but continued in Plateau-d'Assy to the main road D43.
From here it is a nice climb that takes you through the woods with quite a few hairpin turns.
Tip: When you get to the top, continue for a while and after a short descent you will come to the beautiful Lac Vert (the green lake, see photo). And for dessert, you can do this short but steep climb on the way back before starting the beautiful descent from Plaine Joux.
Een aantal jaar terug een variantie op deze beklimming gedaan, we vertrokken vanuit Servoz en zijn dus bij La Motte rechtsaf gegaan om deze beklimming te starten, maar in Plateau-d'Assy doorgestoken naar de hoofdweg D43.
Vanaf hier is het een mooie beklimming die je met flink wat haarspeldbochten door de bossen voert.
Tip: Rijd nog even door als je boven bent, na een korte afdaling kom je bij het prachtige Lac Vert (het groene meertje, zie foto). En als toetje mag je deze korte maar steile beklimming op de terugweg nog doen voor je aan de prachtige afdaling van Plaine Joux begint.
It's a very physically demanding climb with a section of almost three kilometres at over nine per cent. At the top you'll find the plaine joux resort, which is very popular with tourists. This is undoubtedly due to the breathtaking panorama from the Chalet de la Réserve: a view of Mont Blanc!
C'est un ascension très difficile physiquement avec une portion de près de trois kilomètres à plus de neuf pourcents. En haut vous trouverez la station de plaine joux qui est très touristique. C'est sans doute du au panorama époustouflant que vous offre le chalet de la réserve : une vue sur le Mont Blanc !
