Among the three climbs to the Col des Chevrères the climb of this page, from the south and starting in Plancher-Bas, is the easiest one. The first seven kilometers lead from the T-junction of the D16 and the D97 in Plancher-Bas, via the Col de la Chevestraye to Belfahy. In this part the road is nowhere more than moderately steep; large parts have a gradient 5-6%. The last one and a half kilometers are more exciting. First there is a short ramp (with a 250 meter section of 14%), which is followed by an almost horizontal section. The ride finishes with a short, steep section.
