Pass without too much traffic. Quite steep start to reach Saint Sulpice, the rest is rather regular.
The pass is closed in winter

Unmissable “road cycling” of the Col de l'Épine located at an altitude of 990 m.

A very quiet and pleasant road. On the Chambéry side, a good part is in the shade, the slope of the main road is rather constant around 7-8%. On the Novalaise side, the mineral aspect with the cliff is more present in the middle of the climb. This side is quite steep with kilometers at 8-9%. On each side, 1 belvedere offers a breathtaking view of Lake Aiguebelette (approx. 2 km from the summit) and on the other side of Chambéry, the Bauges, Belledonne, the Chartreuse (500 m from the summit). The summit is in the forest.
