サンブランシェの絶景の山頂・トップ17

Beautiful, smooth, never extremely steep and only a few cars even on weekends.

The rewards are the magnificent view of the Val de Bagnes and the cheese crust at the refreshment bar at the Col du Lein

The Col road goes from Martigny at 471 m with an average gradient of about 9%, over the Col des Planches then descends to Sembrancher at 717 m with an average gradient of 7%. The view over the Rhone Valley is superb.

Very nice crossing to Sembrancher! With Champes Lac it makes a great road bike circuit!

very well marked trail, having good shoes is safer, parking space available at Col des Planches

Very nice low-traffic round with the Col du Lein!

A pleasant, grassy mountain pass, with spectacular views of the Valais mountains. The pass is pastoral and synonymous with the typically Swiss mountain terrain. This pass is connected to many popular areas by a variety of trails, making it an excellent place for all types of walks and cyclists.

The Col de la Croix de Coeur was participating in the 2023 Giro d'Italia. The road surface has been improved for the race, but near the summit some gravel remains. The Pass can be crossed easily by road bike and is generally open at the end of May, beginning of June depending on snow conditions. You may want to check in advance that the Pass is open.
