Here is the route for the ascent of the Col de Cuvillat starting from Champdor

With this memorial, the community commemorates several victims of the Second World War. The 'camp des marais de Chautagne', where Jewish citizens were interned, was located in the Saumont district. The memorial site here—designed with the so-called 'Lorraine Cross' (a cross with two crossbars at the top) as its central element—is dedicated to courageous resistance fighters against the Nazi regime.

Nice climb, unfortunately the road from Ruffieu has (recently?) been completely covered in gravel that accumulates on the bends. Uphill it's okay, but risky on the descent. It's strange because the road doesn't seem particularly damaged under the gravel...

Magnificent mountain pastures near the Col de la Biche, where the cows roam freely on the road! 🐄

Village ideally located for the departure point of many road passes.

Beautiful clear panorama, towards the Croix de Famban

A 10 km climb from the small roundabout in Châtillon, it's more like 14 km from the Nantua road or the center of Bellegarde. The gradient is fairly steady, ranging from 5.5% to 7.2%, with about ten small steep sections at +8.5%. Very quiet, with very few cars. The road is generally in good condition, but nothing more. There are some beautiful views along the way.

The Col de Cuvillat connects Brénod to Champdor in the heart of Haut-Bugey. Easily accessible, it winds through forests and high-altitude meadows and reaches an altitude of 1,073 meters.
