Presentation

801 Points – this climb goes past two viewpoints: the first is just before the Col de l’Epine, overlooking the Lac du Bourget, and the second is at the start of the Pas du Lièvre, with views over the Avant-Pays Savoyard. Don't miss the turn off during the descent, 1.5km after the mountain pass.

An accessible pass just a few kilometers from the center of Chambéry, offering a double viewpoint. Its moderate altitude should not make you overlook its difficulty in the 4 challenges for cyclogrimpeur. The western side of the pass gives you access to the "avant pays" region, with its many looping possibilities.

Opening
