    😍 Insanely beautiful climb.

    The climb of over 29 kilometers starts in Allemond. After the stretch along the lake, the climb takes you into sheltered green nature. It can be wet here (dangerous on the descent!).
    The first part of the descent is 18 km from the top.
    There is a dam 9 km from the top, where you have a beautiful view of the lake.
    Soon after this follows a small descent and the last part of the climb.
    The further the climb progresses, the further the view opens. Very beautiful!
    When you enter the last 2.5 kilometers of this climb, the side road to the Glandon appears.


    At the top there is a small terrace where you can relax.

      A very beautiful varied climb, a large pass that we take the time to appreciate.

      First of all a few km along the Lac du Verney, before attacking the first part of the climb, a little austere, in the forest, up to the Rivier d'Allemont. Follow 3 (too) small rolling km, and four hairpins, which allow you to reach Eau d'Olle (bridge). Then come the most difficult percentages, 7 km of sustained climb to the Grand'Maison dam. Then the slope calms down, the landscape opens up frankly, and changes character, in the middle of the mountain pastures.

      Don't forget the short round trip to the Col du Glandon!

      29km, D+ 1600m

        Definitely go up!
        Always a bit steep at the bottom, 2 short descents included and just enjoy at the top!
