The road over the Col de la Ramaz was probably mainly built as an access road to the settlement of Le Praz-de-Lys, a pleasant-looking winter sports resort without high-rise buildings. This road will be little used as a connecting route, because Mieussy and Taninges, the villages where the climb starts on either side of the pass, are also connected by a much shorter road through the valley. The road over the pass is therefore quiet in terms of traffic and makes a round trip from Taninges over the pass and via Mieussy possible. At the start in Taninges take the D307, a narrow road with little traffic, and not the busy D902. The first 4 kilometres are moderately steep (4-9%) and are followed by 2.5 kilometres with gentle gradients (1-4%). After the turn-off to Les Gets comes the toughest section of the ride, 4.5 kilometres at mostly 9-11%. Here cycling is a bit boring because views are rare and the road is wide. When reaching Le Praz-de-Lys the road becomes less steep (2-7% for the next 3 kilometres) and from here you can enjoy wide views. The climb is completed with a kilometre at 8-9%. Look back just before the pass because behind you the Mont Blanc massif is visible in all its glory provided clouds do not veil the highest mountain of the Alps.
