サンテレーヌデュラックの峠・トップ6

Warning: This section is very technical for about fifteen meters. There are metal ladders, bars, and lifelines. Experience in climbing or via ferrata is required for safety. Personally, there were three of us with rucksacks weighing 10, 12, and 15 kilos respectively, and we had to make three round trips, carrying each bag together (one holding it from above, the other from below). With a fair amount of experience, this was accomplished without any problems, but we had to take our time and reassure one of us, for whom the section was particularly technical. We did it downhill and in very light rain, which didn't help. It took us about 20/30 minutes for our three return trips. Very technical descent, probably easier ascent. → Photos for illustration purposes only, not contractual.

Warning: The climb from the east side is extremely steep! An average gradient of around 10% over 9-10 km.

Very good and quite accessible as a pass. Be careful of overtaking cars.

From Saint Pierre you pass through Entrement le veux and arrive at the top of Col de Granier, if you take the first right towards Col de Marcieu until Saint Hillaire de Touvet and descend into the valley to Grenoble, very calm, rolling and bucolic

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

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.

This superb passage is located in the foothills of the South Granier. Technically easy, it requires concentration to be completed without difficulty.
