ル・ヴェルネイユ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Here is the route for the ascent of the Col de Champlaurent starting from Chamoux-sur-Gelon.

Please note, this section will be closed in late June and early July 2025, as they resurface the route for the Women's Tour de France! The closure is announced at the very bottom of the valley, but it's not easy to see...

Very nice pass; % real on the terminals. Hard but really quiet, because very few vehicles. Not very long either.

Very nice secondary road to go up to St François Longchamp, much better than the normal road

In response to CamilleD, a useful link: https://climbfinder.com/fr/montees/col-de-marocaz-arbin The % indicated on the terminals correspond to the average percentage over the km following the terminal. It seems that this nice pass deserves the % indicated. Pass covered on a Sunday afternoon, little attendance, mainly motorbikes.

It's beautiful but it's steep. Sustained passages at 9/10%. But it's beautiful! And then very few cars so a real pleasure.

On its southeast side, from Epierre, it is a beautiful port. The vast majority is covered by trees, which do not allow great views of the valley; However, the road is very winding, with continuous curves that make it very bearable. It is an area to enjoy cycling since there is hardly any traffic.

This secondary road joins the main road of the Col de la Madeleine. It allows you to enjoy the sumptuous environment that surrounds you with less traffic than on the main road. The climb is no less difficult!
