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

Best view in many directions on a quiet street

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...

This glacial lake, backed by limestone cliffs, is sometimes sapphire in color, sometimes emerald - Alexandre Dumas wrote in his book Impression de voyage in 1834: "This pretty little sapphire blue lake, set like a jewel, that nature would fear to lose."

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.

The Col de Bérentin connects the Valserine Valley to the Retord Plateau, passing through the beautiful Jura forests. Its ascent is gradual and the road is little traveled.
