Tips from the Community

Nicolas Vergnaud
April 29, 2026, Domaine de La Praille

In addition to being the starting point for several walking and cycling routes, the La Praille estate offers everything you need to regain your strength after an outing. Besides accommodation and catering at the inn, there is a wellness area (spa and Nordic bath) to recharge your batteries in a magnificent mountain setting.

Little-known pass but very beautiful little road!

Nice climb, unfortunately the road from Ruffieu has (recently?) been completely covered in gravel that accumulates on the bends. Uphill it's okay, but risky on the descent. It's strange because the road doesn't seem particularly damaged under the gravel...

Col de la Clye, perched on a discreet road between the Combe du Val and the Retord plateau, unveils a peaceful pastoral setting. Its isolated atmosphere makes it a pretty passage on the Grandes Traversées du Jura route.

The Col de Valorse is nestled between the Haut-Bugey and the Valserine valley, east of the Ain. This pass offers a regular climb in the heart of a wild forest landscape.

Very quiet, sometimes steep climb. Road could be a lot better. Glad I had 35mm tires.
