In 2016, the Tour de France led over this pass road and before that it had already attracted attention as part of the Dauphine tour. Quite remarkable racing ground, since then also known under the name Finhaut-Emosson, which you pedal your way up here. Speaking of pedaling: you will flatten 888 meters of altitude during the east driveway from Le Chatelard.

It's a magnificent climb of nearly 1,000 m over 10 km from the village of Finhaut to the Emosson dam! Remember that the last kilometer is the hardest.
