Tips
The pass is heavily frequented by motorized vehicles and is therefore not a real cycling highlight. The inclines are moderate on both sides and the long straights invite you to descend quickly.Do not confuse it with the pass of the same name on Lac d'Annecy!

Passage pass certainly, but relatively low attendance the day I went there. Possibility of doing the first half by the small villages without traffic (Les Rappes, La Fontaine, Le Cergneux, Le Fahy) rather than the main road, on the first half.

The view of the surrounding mountains is absolutely beautiful. We were there on a Sunday, so traffic was light.
