A few kilometers south of the Grand Colombier, this pass at 1316 meters is at the intersection of the Arvière valley, the Grand Colombier and the Sur Lyand ridges.

Located on the heights of Mont Clergeon to the north of Lac du Bourget, the Col du Clergeon – 979 m – has the particularity of belonging to a non-Alpine massif, in this case that of Jura but also to the department of Savoie which is naturally affiliated with the Alps. WEST SIDE This slope starting at Ruffieux, located just opposite the Grand Colombier, has an air copied from that of its illustrious neighbor: certainly shorter with 8.8 km but at 8.5% on average! Around fifteen bends will help you climb the 728 m of positive altitude difference. Still count on a big passage of 1840 m at 10.5% to reach the Col du Clergeon at 979 m above sea level which marks the border with Haute-Savoie. EASTERN SIDE This slope starts at Rumilly in… Haute-Savoie. It offers a positive altitude difference equivalent to the western slope with 772 m but being longer with 15 km, the difficulty is a little less with an average slope of 6.5%. However, the ascent is tricky because it has 2 descents that will have to be climbed back up and a long passage of 3.4 km on a slope of between 8.5 and 9.5%. Small sweetness: the finale won't be too difficult. Sources: Alpes4ever

Regular climb, on one side or the other. Be careful, however, if you arrive at the top in "limit": there are two "passes" which follow one another in two km, this can give a little blow to morale when the legs respond less well 😉

Every second Saturday in June, July, August and September. from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., the climb to the Grand Colombier from Culoz is reserved for cyclists, without registration.

Long and difficult climb, fantastic views along the way. Spicy increase percentages.

Discovered by the Tour de France, it is now a legendary mountain. I recommend the climb from Culoz with its spectacular hairpin bends and great views of Lac du Bourget. 17 km ascent, partly up to 14% incline, but with 2 longer flat sections that allow some relaxation. Wonderful all-round view at the summit, with snack bar and souvenir shop in the nice season.

Superb panorama. Multiple trails lend themselves to hiking.
