サント・ホノレの峠・トップ5

Very pleasant to ride, as it is rarely steeper than 6-7%

The Col d'Ornon isn't the most famous, but it's a pleasant climb. Category two, it's ten kilometers long and averages 6.2%. Watch out for steep gradients in the middle of the climb!

The Col d'Ornon, perched at 1,371 meters above sea level in the French Alps, is a captivating mountain pass offering spectacular views. Famous for cycling and hiking, its winding roads and trails invite adventure.

Traffic-calmed climb without extreme gradients. Fun to do from both sides.

I added the SAMBY to avoid a round trip of the existing proposed hike in Visorando Departure in the Undergrowth by a forest track, it climbs well up to the Col du Plan Collet. on the left towards the CAVALE by the long ridge. on the right the SAMBY for the return by a path in the forest. nice view of the OBIOU, the triève, a superb view also of the summit of the Coiro in June, the flora is extraordinary the descent through the small valley all in bloom in JUNE really made you want to venture there I opted for a picnic at the edge of the small torrent using the ends of existing paths the path then is quite visible in the middle of the valley ps: as often by turning around from half of the valley we can clearly see the route when you reach the flat valley, you find old round walls and chamois the path is dotted from here on an old map to join the path of the climb continue the path skirting the hill and following the path sometimes clearly visible, sometimes it disappears some cairns still remain, I straightened them (the lilies of St Bruno dot the meadow) we join the path of the climb of the 1st stop we descend to the Col du Plan Collet

There are two sides to the Col d'Ornon. From La Paute, the climb is 11.2 km long with a total drop of 649 m. The average gradient is 5.8% with maximum gradients of 9%.
