Col de Joux Plane - Road Bikes

Village

Description

This pass has often been a judge of peace for the riders of the Tour de France© and the Dauphiné Libéré©. Its ascent by bike from Samoëns, apart from the sporting performance which requires good training, is an opportunity to ride over a marvellous balcony overlooking the valley, then towards the Mont-Blanc massif in its most majestic profile... The road is closed to heavy goods vehicles and is not a major traffic artery, much to the delight of cycle tourists.
