The St Bonnet pass is a beautiful Beaujolais pass, culminating at 646 m. The 2 main climbs are from Salles-Arbuissonas or Rivolet. Without great difficulty from Salles, it presents very beautiful panoramas over the Beaujolais. By Rivolet the percentages are higher on certain portions but the climb is short. You can then reach the parasoir via the Col de la Vieille Morte, almost without climbing.

The Col de Saint-Bonnet, located in the heart of the Alps, offers a spectacular panorama of the surrounding mountains and green valleys. This pass, perched at an altitude of 1,499 metres, is a favourite passage for hikers and cyclists in search of magnificent landscapes. As you climb the slopes of the pass, the view gradually opens up onto the Alpine peaks, forests and flowery meadows.
