This pass, just over 1,500 meters high, is truly wonderful in every respect. The ascent is via small roads with very little traffic, but with many great views – the best of both worlds, so to speak. At the top, you'll find less tourist hustle and bustle than on other more prominent passes. Therefore, you can enjoy the view into the valley here particularly relaxed. Unfortunately, there is no supply point.

Culoz

Highlight • Other

Located at the foot of the Grand Colombier and on the banks of the Rhône, Culoz has great historical wealth. Its first inhabitants populated it in 7600 BC, before passing through the ages. This city of sport and nature is located at the gateway to Savoie, at the crossroads of remarkable landscapes and fauna and flora as diverse as they are rare.
