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.

Steep Section on the Way to the Summit

Highlight • Climb

I've already climbed 1700 meters and have a bike that weighs 40 kg including luggage. This mountain is demanding almost everything from me, but I'll make it!

Torture yourself, you pig!
Jan Ullrich was told this. You can't reach the summit without effort :)

A pass before the final objective of the Grand Colombier, it can also be done alone for a shorter outing, but it would be a shame not to complete it!
Although completing it as a single pass via the crazy climb to Virieu-le-Petit remains a real challenge and may be enough to put you off continuing!

Col du Grand Colombier

Highlight • Mountain Pass

This pass, just over 1,500 meters high, is truly wonderful in every respect. The ascent is via small roads with very little traffic, but with many great views – the best of both worlds, so to speak. At the top, you'll find less tourist hustle and bustle than on other more prominent passes. Therefore, you can enjoy the view into the valley here particularly relaxed. Unfortunately, there is no supply point.
