Here is the route for the ascent of the Col de Joux Plane starting from Samoëns

Col Pelouse is a high mountain pass at an altitude of 2,261 m (7,417 ft) above sea level, located in the Haute-Savoie department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of southeastern France. From Lac des Gers, the climb is 2.5 km and 300 m along a scree-like path.

As of June 25, crossing from both sides is not possible due to construction work. It doesn't look like this will change anytime soon.

At 1,712 meters above sea level, the Col de Joux Plane is not the highest pass in the Alps. But its steep gradient from Samoëns, averaging 8.5%, earns it a hors catégorie classification despite only an eleven-kilometer climb.

endless mountain bike and downhill trails

I recommend the climb via "Nancy sur Cluses", a good winding climb with gradients of 13-14%, I saw a few French cycling clubs pass me and take this route :-) With luggage on the racing bike it's a real challenge (for the Route des Grandes Alpes - an insane test start).

It is the pass between Gers and Flaine, a crossing point between the two valleys.
