* Tricky sections:
It's from Brizon onwards that things get tough.
As far as Solaison, the 6.2 kilometres are spread over 509 metres of ascent at an average gradient of... 8%! But these figures, already terrible on paper, hide another aspect: the gradient will be very irregular, alternating between some - fairly short - sections at 6% and others - fairly long - at over 10%!
The second difficulty of the day, the Col de la Colombière.
Starting from Scionzier, you can warm up over 2 km. From Blanzy, the hostilities begin with 1.1 km at 5%, then 2 km at 8% and finally 1 km at 6.5%. You'll need to make the most of a generous flat area of between 2 and 3% for 3 km as far as Le Reposoir, because the second part of this climb will be no picnic: 7.3 km at an average gradient of 8.5%!
It's the last 3km that will seem interminable, a terrible finish with 2km at 9.5% and then the last 800 metres at 10.5% to reach the Col de la Colombière.

The return journey via the other side of the Aravis mountains will be a mere formality.
