The Rhone is majestic.

Starting from Morez, the climb is steep in parts but easier than the slog from Nyon. The scenery? Stunning all the way, especially crossing from France into Switzerland at La Cure. In March, the top (1232m) was deep in snow and freezing, so be prepared. Then it’s all downhill.. literally, through Saint-Cergue and into a twisty, brake-testing descent to Nyon, where it was warm enough for a T-shirt. One ride, two countries, skipping through seasons.

This bridge is also called the “Viaduc de Cartigny”, in reference to the village of Cartigny which is located on the right bank of the bridge.

Perched at an altitude of 1,323 metres, the Col de la Faucille welcomes you with a 360-degree panorama of the Alps and the Valserine Valley. Whether you attack it from the north or the south, the spectacle is not long in coming. Its ascent from the south, on the road to Gex, has the appearance of a great Alpine pass with its many bends and countless views of the Mont-Blanc massif.
