I just climbed Joux Plane from Samoens. Very beautiful route. I was a little worried when reading the reviews... I found my rhythm, without forcing or jerking, it's going well! The tip given by James to turn off at km 6 is not valid for road cyclists, it's a forest path! Not a fan of the road connections, Les Gets Samoens and Morzine Les Gets, very busy, but you have to go to Joux Plane and back.

An alternative route that climbs to the Col de Joux Plane. It avoids the first 6 km uphill and is less crowded than the main one.

If you fancy a change to the standard route up this epic climb then these roads offer a quiet alternative. It pops you out onto the main route just before the 6km to go marker.
