La Baudichonne is the name of the farm near the pass that can be reached via a cul-de-sac. If you are on a road bike and are not afraid to carry or push it a few hundred meters, you can continue your tour to the Combe Blanche or directly to the Route de la Faucille (D1005).
The driveway fluctuates around 11% in the lower part and only flattens off from approx. 1200m. There you leave the forest and drive (in summer) through a blossoming meadow landscape. As soon as the forest is reached again, the road becomes steeper again until it reaches the courtyard mentioned at the beginning. It's worth taking a look back here!

Sublime climb from Lake Geneva. The road is first in a lush forest to then discover beautiful pastures when the altitude rises. Possibility to reach France by a white path of about 1 km
