Description:

The north side of the beautiful pass Col de la Colombière starts from Cluses (Scionzier). The first part, till the bend in Blanzy, is very moderate. Between Blanzy and Porte d"Age, you get the first test, with passages close to 10%. After having taken the huge bend to the right near Port d"Age, you get an almost flat 3 km until Le Reposoir. You might want to visit the monastery there to pray to get support for the rest of the climb. Cause from there, the climb really starts getting real nasty, never going below 8% with a finishing km of 10%+. Enjoy the landscape!

The Col de la Colombière is situated in High Savoie. Starting from Scionzier, the Col de la Colombière is 16.3 km long. Over this distance, you climb 1108 heightmeters. The average percentage is thus 6.8 %. Look for other sides to climb the Col de la Colombière .

Story by David Mitchell from Leeds, United Kingdom, submitted on 6/24/2008

Climbed the Colombiere from Scionzier last weekend on a warm day in June with a group of freinds. The climb starts gently through the forest, with welcome shade. The ride to Le Reposoir at 980m is straightforward. The views really start to improve from then on. The gradient then starts to kick up with the pressure on the legs increasing. The ride is now in full sun. Eventually on turning a corner the finish can be seen, the hotel at the top, but then the gradient goes over an average of 10% for the last few kilometres with some parts reaching 14% and also in full sun. Did the whole climb in 1hr 20mins but one member of party took extra 40mins. A wonderful climb and well woth the effort. Think difficulty score of 124 a bit low, due to the final stretch.

My personal climb rating: 4 stars
