A real highlight on this route. This series of tight hairpins provides a unique experience when climbing and descending. At the top of them you will have a truly spectacular view.

A tight series of switchbacks, somewhat reminiscent of the switchbacks of Montvernier, located on the southern slope of the Col des Sagnes (1182m). These switchbacks constitute the most difficult passage on this southern slope with a slope of around 8 to 10% over one kilometer.
