Starts at the round about near the Lac de Carouge. The first 4 km are moderately steep (mostly 5-7 %) and wind first through agricultural land and then through the diverse settlements of Saint Pierre d'Albigny. At the last settlement the steepness increases up to 7-8 %, which sets the standard up to the pass, which is reached after a total of 9.9 km and 670 elevation meters. The climb is popular among race bikers, which are probably mostly local. There is little traffic and road conditions are good.

Camping Les Erables . Tip! Ideal starting point for Col du Grand Colombier and Col de la Biche. Warm hospitality and swimming pool nearby.
