ニヨンの峠・トップ6

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.

Greenery, small trail path, wild nature, everything is there to enjoy a breath of fresh air

Beautiful section of the Jura Ridge Trail

Wonderful all-round view of Lake Geneva and the natural park.

9 km at an average gradient of 9.5%. Rated as "unclassified" on the myCols app. Small, shaded road with almost no traffic. Asphalt in good condition.

Sublime climb from Lake Geneva. The road is first in a lush forest to then discover beautiful pastures when the altitude rises. Possibility to reach France by a white path of about 1 km

At 1,557 meters above sea level, the pass separates two great peaks of the Vaudois Jura: La Dôle and Pointe de Poêle Chaud. It also allows you to switch to France or Switzerland depending on which side you come from. The views of the high combes on the French side and the steep slopes on the Swiss side are magnificent. The vertiginous sensation provided by the inclination of the mountain sublimates the landscape.

This hiking pass makes its way, at an altitude of 1,557 meters, between the summit of Pointe de Poêle Chaud and the summit of La Dôle. It is a border pass which takes you from the high valleys and mountain pastures of the French Jura towards the slopes of Lake Geneva. And with a view of Mont Blanc, no less!
