풀 레 에샤르모‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪15‬개의 산길

Beautiful pass at 736 m, quite gentle, 6.1% average. Nice to do by mixing with the 76 gravel hiking trail.

Col de Favardy alt 856m Departure from many trails

Nice pass to do from the Azergues valley via St Nizier and the Col de la Croix Nicelle: until the Croix Nicelle the percentages are around 7/8% then the final flattens out. From Ranchal or from St Vincent de Reins via St Bonnet le Troncy, the climbs are less complicated but long because the pass is quite high at 862 m. The view at the top is non-existent but the forest atmosphere can be appreciable in foggy weather which gives it a mysterious atmosphere. Many gravel or mountain bike trails converge here and the GR7 passes by.

Nice pass to do from Claveisolles, St Didier sur Beaujeu, Marchampt, la Varenne. The hardest percentages are from Varenne which takes a very small road, very little frequented with a beautiful view of the vines. The other climbs are more regular turning around 5/6%. From Claveisolles we go up in a very pleasant little valley. The view at the top is mainly on the Azergues side. Note that a very pleasant little road goes in the direction of Chénellette or Vernay, we are alone in the world.

Nice pass to do from Lamure sur Azergues, Le Perréon, Le Papilloud (road of the ridges but you can climb from Vaux too). On the Lamure side, the view is absent but it is relatively hard with some good percentages. If you start from the Perréon you take the start of the Col de la Croix Rosier, magnificent... From the Papilloud the climb is very short but there is no shortage of views over the Beaujolais. At the top the view is not very present but the forest atmosphere is very pleasant, we enter the upper Beaujolais...

3 or even 5 possible climbs: from Azergues via Grandris 3: the main one, a small annex in less good condition from Grandris Haut and a terrible variant via Gondras with passages at 25% from Grandris bas. They all return to the main road before the pass. The main road and on a road in fairly good condition, little gradient 3/4% for about 9 km with beautiful landscapes and quite a few clear views. On the Rhine valley side, you can climb from Cublize (approximately 5% average but much shorter) or from Magny via Meaux la Montagne. On the latter the climb to Meaux is quite steep at 7/8% then after Meaux the slope is gentle not far from 2/3%. On these faces the landscapes are less clear but still appreciable. In summer be careful because good parts of the pass especially from the Rhine are in full dodger for quite a long time.

Perfect crossing to start your hike, beautiful wood, unfortunately a little damaged by clear cuts.

Slight slope 3/4% but a long climb awaits you
