The Col de Cou, at an altitude of 1,117 metres, takes you from the Vallée Verte to the Côte-en-Chablais region. Several roads lead there, which allows you to train by varying the routes and difficulties. The hardest climb is the one on the western slope from Fessy, with seven kilometres at an average of 7.5%.

Between the Pointe de Targaillan to the south and the Aiguille to the north, the Col de Cou is the crossing point between the Vallée Verte to the west and the Côte-en-Chablais region to the east, from where it is accessible from Draillant and Fessy.

On the edge of the communes of Cervens and Habère-Poche, it is crossed at an altitude of 1,117 m[1] by the D12 road linking Thonon-les-Bains to Bonneville. This has a passage on its northern slope at 6.5% and on its southern slope at 6%. The climb from Fessy, much steeper, has an average gradient of 7.5% with a passage at 9% over 400 meters
