Don't forget that even if it's in the mid-mountains, you need to be equipped for the weather, good shoes, and good physical condition.

Very nice wooded climb

A very quiet and pleasant road. On the Chambéry side, a good part is in the shade, the slope of the main road is rather constant around 7-8%. On the Novalaise side, the mineral aspect with the cliff is more present in the middle of the climb. This side is quite steep with kilometers at 8-9%. On each side, 1 belvedere offers a breathtaking view of Lake Aiguebelette (approx. 2 km from the summit) and on the other side of Chambéry, the Bauges, Belledonne, the Chartreuse (500 m from the summit). The summit is in the forest.

Warning: The climb from the east side is extremely steep! An average gradient of around 10% over 9-10 km.

Leaving from Chambery, the beginning hurts a little, but the rest is quite good

Very good and quite accessible as a pass. Be careful of overtaking cars.

From Saint Pierre you pass through Entrement le veux and arrive at the top of Col de Granier, if you take the first right towards Col de Marcieu until Saint Hillaire de Touvet and descend into the valley to Grenoble, very calm, rolling and bucolic

More interesting climb via the "direct" route, via Rocher Rousset, from Challes-les-Eaux.

There is a mistake about the valleys!

Pass without too much traffic. Quite steep start to reach Saint Sulpice, the rest is rather regular. The pass is closed in winter

Unmissable “road cycling” of the Col de l'Épine located at an altitude of 990 m.

The Col d'Épine connects the Thônes and Faverges valleys. At the summit, which rises to an altitude of 987 m, to the west you have a breathtaking view of Chambéry, the south of Lake Bourget and the Bauges massif. On the eastern slope, you can enjoy a superb panoramic view of Lake Aiguebelette.

Lake Aiguebelette is a natural lake located in France in the Savoie department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Main lake of the Savoyard Avant-Pays, in the southern end of the Jura massif, it is located approximately 10 kilometers from Chambéry, approximately 40 kilometers from Grenoble and approximately 100 kilometers from Lyon. It has an area of 545 hectares and is as such the seventh natural French lake after Lake Geneva (in part), Lake Hourtin and Carcans, Lake Grand-Lieu, Lake Bourget, Lake Annecy and Lake Marville (at Kerguelen). Bordered to the east by the Épine chain which culminates with Mont Grelle at 1,427 meters and to the west by Mont Tournier, its maximum depth is 71 meters. At first glance, it is characterized by its often green color, whereas, in the same region, Lake Annecy is bluer and Lake Bourget is more often steel gray. Lake Aiguebelette is a private lake which belongs to the Rivérieulx de Chambost de Lépin family and Électrcité de France, who have entrusted its management to the Communauté de Communes du Lac d'Aiguebelette. Its banks are shared between five riverside municipalities: Aiguebelette-le-Lac, Lépin-le-Lac, Saint-Alban-de-Montbel, Novalaise and Nances. In the southern part of the lake there are two islands, surrounded by reed beds. In order to preserve the quality of its waters and its environment, thermal motor boats have been prohibited on the lake since a decree of 1967. It has also been the first regional freshwater nature reserve in France since March 2015. Source: Wikipedia

Magnificent lake in a mountain atmosphere, with a pretty road that goes around it, partly away from traffic. Do it clockwise.

Another pass that is worth it!

The Col du Granier is a mountain pass in the Alps in the Savoy department of France that crosses the Chartreuse Mountains to connect the villages of Entremont-le-Vieux, Apremont and Chapareillan. It is one of the most important mountain passes in the Tour de France and one of the toughest that the Alps announce. Its more than 1100 meters can be seen from different points in the Gresivaudan valley and its neighboring mountain of Les Bages.

the first 11 km quite steep steep percentage after the percentage goes down

The beautiful and varied hiking trail to the summit cross alone is a pleasure, and once you reach the summit, you have a breathtaking panorama in all directions (Alps, Lac du Bourget, Chamberry, Aix-les-Bains, mountains and valleys). Highly recommended 😀👍!

The Lac d'Aiguebelette is an essential place in the summer season. The road around the lake offers an easy ride that allows you to enjoy views of the mountains and the lake. There are a number of side roads and trails that will take you to the water's edge, as well as plenty of places to stop and cool off.
