20의 생프랑가지 명소 & 주요 장소

Magnificent view of the heart of the Chartreuse region, the plain of St. Laurent du Pont, and Mont Blanc in the background, seemingly within arm's reach. The access path via the ridge that connects to Outheran is very straightforward. The climb from St. Jean de Couz on the SW side is quite complicated. The path is barely visible and rather difficult to follow on a very steep face. The final section leads up a very steep couloir, through a slippery and unstable scree slope. Furthermore, the exposure to falling rocks is quite significant; extreme caution is required (helmet recommended). The final section consists of short climbing sections and very steep ascents in fairly exposed grassy terrain (fairly straightforward, but exposed).

Very nice wooded climb

A very quiet and pleasant road. On the Chambéry side, a good part is in the shade, the slope of the main road is rather constant around 7-8%. On the Novalaise side, the mineral aspect with the cliff is more present in the middle of the climb. This side is quite steep with kilometers at 8-9%. On each side, 1 belvedere offers a breathtaking view of Lake Aiguebelette (approx. 2 km from the summit) and on the other side of Chambéry, the Bauges, Belledonne, the Chartreuse (500 m from the summit). The summit is in the forest.

Leaving from Chambery, the beginning hurts a little, but the rest is quite good

There is a mistake about the valleys!

Pass without too much traffic. Quite steep start to reach Saint Sulpice, the rest is rather regular. The pass is closed in winter

Unmissable “road cycling” of the Col de l'Épine located at an altitude of 990 m.

The Col d'Épine connects the Thônes and Faverges valleys. At the summit, which rises to an altitude of 987 m, to the west you have a breathtaking view of Chambéry, the south of Lake Bourget and the Bauges massif. On the eastern slope, you can enjoy a superb panoramic view of Lake Aiguebelette.
