The Col du Grand Cucheron from La Corbière is 11.6 kilometers long with a total elevation gain of 805 meters. The average slope is 6.94% with maximum slopes of 13.1%.

A good climb to do during the summer months as there is quite a bit of shade.

From Saint-Pierre-de-Belleville, the driveway is 12.3 kilometers and you conquer almost 800 meters in altitude, 799 meters in altitude to be precise. Overall, the driveway can be divided into three sections.

The first part is the section to past Saint-Alban-de-Hurtières, which is characterized by three hairpin bends. This covers around 3.7 kilometers and overcomes 200 meters in altitude. The first part opens up a beautiful view of both the beginning of the Maurienne valley and the mountains on the other side. The Plan d’Eau des Hurtières, a lake that is sure to glisten in the sun when the weather is good, is particularly worth mentioning.

After the first part, a 2.9-kilometer section begins, which continues to follow the D207 to Les Champs, which is followed to Saint-Pierre-de-Belleville. These almost three kilometers overcome 152 vertical meters and thus have an incline of around 5%. So perfect to either relax or to pick up speed again. Already here it slowly starts to get quieter, cars are becoming increasingly rare and at the latest after Les Champs there is a quiet street in front of you that can be climbed.

The third part is then the one where it gets down to business. On the last kilometers there is an average gradient of 8% and a total of six bends leads to the top of the pass. Worth mentioning here are the long straights that lie between the hairpin bends and that immediately catch the cyclist's eye, provided that he also takes this driveway as a descent. The long straights are much more pleasant to drive down than to drive up. However, this path is continuously located in a forest, which is why the view here is unfortunately more or less non-existent.

Once at the top of the pass, there is a small picnic area that invites you to linger when the weather is good.

Extreme North of the Belledonne massif, a very rolling pass on the Oils Valley side.
