The slope through Leschaux to Mont Semnoiz is the most accessible of the 3 ascents. But first you must have already climbed the Col de Leschaux (alt. 897 m). It is 12 km at 3.5% from Sévrier to the north or 7.2 km at 4.5% from the Detrier bridge to the south.
So from the Col de Leschaux, it has 13.5 km of ascent at 6%, the maximum slope will be 9% in 1.2 km, but be careful, the distance between each hairpin will seem very long. The final will be quite easy with the last 700 meters at 4.5%.
