Done with Éric on 25 April 2024, I had already done it in the 2000s but had no memory of it and no photos. A short but steep climb, as the profile shows. It starts a little lower than indicated, just outside Faverges on the Rte du Col de Tamié, which makes a total of 5.6km for 378M of ascent. The road is good up to the small hamlet of Glaise and then deteriorates sharply in places. In the end it's a dirt track and a hiking trail.

On the descent (carefully) there are fine views of Seythenex and its church, Faverges and the Aravis Massif.
A must-do climb if you're on holiday in the area.

Fait avec Éric le 25 avril 2024, Je l'avais déjà effectué dans les années 2000 mais il ne me restait aucun souvenir et pas de photo.
Une ascension courte mais pentue comme en atteste le profil, elle commence un peu plus bas qu'indiqué, juste à la sortie de Faverges sur la Rte du Col de Tamié ce qui fait au total 5,6km pour 378M de dénivellation.
La Rte est bonne jusqu'au petit hameau de Glaise et ensuite ce dégrade fortement par endroit.
Au final c'est un chemin de terre et de randonnée pédestre.
A la descente ( prudente ) belles vues sur Seythenex et son église, sur Faverges, et sur le Massif des Aravis.
Une ascension à faire ci vous êtes en vacances dans le coin.
