An ascent that allows you to return to Les Houches and then Chamonix from the upper Arve Valley. A car-free ascent, with many twists and turns, which passes through Vaudagne. Superb views at the finish and a very pleasant walk through the village. A beautiful climb that's well worth the diversions.
Ascension qui permet de retourner aux Houches puis Chamonix à partir de la haute Vallée de l’Arve. Montée sans voiture, avec de nombreux lacets, irrégulières et qui traverse Vaudagne. Superbe panorama à l’arrivée, traversée du village très agréable. Une très belle montée qui vaut le détour.
Very nice climb. Meandering up via many hairpin bends.
Doable, even for slightly less experienced climbers.
Descent is a bit tricky. Caution is advised.
On entering Les Houches, there is a good bakery on the left. Here you can regain your strength.
Hele leuke klim. Slingerend naar boven via vele haarspeldbochten.
Goed te doen, ook voor iets minder geoefende klimmers.
Afdaling is wel wat lastig. Voorzichtigheid geboden.
Bij binnenkomst Les Houches aan de linkerkant een goede bakker. Hier kun je weer goed op krachten komen..
The climb was relatively easy (I have to say I'm not a good climber) because it was short and with close laces that allowed me to find a rhythm quickly. I really like the small road that seems a bit out of time (it's far from the quasi-nationals to the big resorts) and that was not very frequented the three times I went there. It's shady and interspersed with some great views of the valley. Once at the top, the view of the high mountain is particularly rewarding after a few seconds of descent to Les Houches.
Montée relativement facile (je précise n'avoir rien d'un bon grimpeur) car courte et avec des lacets rapprochés qui permettent de trouver rapidement un rythme. J'aime beaucoup le côté "petite route" qui semble un peu hors du temps (on est loin des quasi-nationales vers les grandes stations) et qui s'est montrée peu fréquentée les trois fois que j'y suis passé. C'est ombragé et entrecoupé de quelques belles vues sur la vallée. Une fois au sommet, le point de vue sur la haute montagne est particulièrement gratifiant après quelques secondes de descente vers les Houches.
Very nice climb if you want to go from Servoz to Chamonix.
Very quiet road, which is generally well paved, last piece was some unevenness but nothing significant.
The climb itself meanders nicely between houses with in the middle and at the end a piece through the forest.
It's a pretty narrow road with a lot of hairpin bends, this allows the beautiful views of the mountains around Mont Blanc to alternate with the mountains behind Sallanches.
Once you're up there is a much straighter descent towards Les Houches after which you can continue towards Chamonix.
Erg fijne klim als je vanuit Servoz naar Chamonix wilt.
Zeer rustige weg, die over het algemeen goed geasfalteerd is, laatste stuk zaten wat ongelijkheden maar niets noemenswaardigs.
De klim zelf slingert mooi tussen huisjes door met in het midden en op het eind een stuk door het bos.
Het is een redelijk smalle weg met erg veel haarspeldbochten, hierdoor wisselt het prachtige uitzicht op de bergen rondom de Mont Blanc regelmatig af met het gebergte achter Sallanches.
Als je eenmaal boven bent volgt er een veel rechtere afdaling richting Les Houches waarna je je weg kunt vervolgen richting Chamonix.
