Hard road ride. Very good fitness required. Mostly well-paved surfaces and easy to ride. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

Col du Pavillon

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The pass of the pavilion culminates at 755 meters above sea level. The view of the western slope is quite unobstructed. I recommend a stop at the Le Pavillon hostel-hotel, which offers good food and allows you to take a break after climbing the pass.

Cambuse Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

3 or even 5 possible climbs: from Azergues via Grandris 3: the main one, a small annex in less good condition from Grandris Haut and a terrible variant via Gondras with passages at 25% from Grandris bas. They all return to the main road before the pass. The main road and on a road in fairly good condition, little gradient 3/4% for about 9 km with beautiful landscapes and quite a few clear views. On the Rhine valley side, you can climb from Cublize (approximately 5% average but much shorter) or from Magny via Meaux la Montagne. On the latter the climb to Meaux is quite steep at 7/8% then after Meaux the slope is gentle not far from 2/3%. On these faces the landscapes are less clear but still appreciable. In summer be careful because good parts of the pass especially from the Rhine are in full dodger for quite a long time.

Col de la Croix Nicelle (782 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Nice pass to do from St Bonnet le Troncy, from St Nizier d'Azergues, or in the descent from Favardy. On the bike course of the Lac des Sapins triathlon to spice it up with a little d+. From St Nizier the climb is quite long with good percentages. The points of view are not legion. The view at the pass is not too present, you have to move to have a view (especially in the direction of Favardy). The pass is seldom used, which makes it all the more enjoyable. You can take the GR7 forest path in gravel or mountain biking from the pass. The cross is located at the very beginning of the descent to St Bonnet on the left at the edge of the forest.

Col de Favardy (862 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Nice pass to do from the Azergues valley via St Nizier and the Col de la Croix Nicelle: until the Croix Nicelle the percentages are around 7/8% then the final flattens out. From Ranchal or from St Vincent de Reins via St Bonnet le Troncy, the climbs are less complicated but long because the pass is quite high at 862 m. The view at the top is non-existent but the forest atmosphere can be appreciable in foggy weather which gives it a mysterious atmosphere. Many gravel or mountain bike trails converge here and the GR7 passes by.
