Tips

Siro Arias Valdés - Testadicorsa

It is one of the great discoveries of the French Alps in my last decade. It is not a mountain pass because it only has one road side. On foot (or even with a Gravel bike), once you reach the top, you can reach the Lac de Grand-Maison, connecting with the final stretch of the climb to the Col de Glandon or the Col de la Croix-de-Fer .
The climb to Col de Sabot has a gradient of 1,253 meters, 14.5 km in length with an average slope of 8.9%. It is a very tough port.
It has 2 parts that are very well differentiated in every sense:
- The first, until reaching Vaujany (about 5 km) is a very wide road, perfectly paved, with some traffic and hardly any views of the valley.
- The second is a very narrow road, with a lot of gravel, hardly any traffic and views of the alpine meadows. In a quiet environment where only the sounds of the mountain can be heard.

The Col du Sabot, the highest road pass in Isère.

Minimal road traffic, perfectible tarmac (gravel) after 'Le Collet'.

Very demanding climb but the landscapes are worth the detour!! Much less frequented than other major passes in the Alps.
