생프랑‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪9‬개의 산길

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.

Very pleasant pass to climb, not too steep a slope, well marked all the way.
