A great pass 100 km from Lyon! with picnic area just in case
For the record, it took me 3 attempts to complete the entire route, the first having been interrupted prematurely by a flat tire, the second by a terrible storm. Hence a little special flavor!

Nice pass to do from: Chambost-Allières, Chamelet, Létra, La Saule d'Oingt in the extension of the Col du Chêne. Nice percentages on the Chamelet side, Létra and in the beginning of the ascent from Chambost, at the end the slope flattens out. From Chambost, we climb in a beautiful semi-mountain atmosphere. The connection from the Col du Chêne to the Joncin offers a magnificent view all along over the Azergues. It is the starting point of a beautiful forest trail in the Cantinière forest, to be done in gravel, and mountain bike trails.
