Great pass with very little traffic which allows you to enjoy a panorama in complete tranquility. The viewpoint at the summit offers a beautiful view of the Chautagne and Lake Bourget from the paragliding departure slope (accessible from a path from the parking lot up there) 🪂 Pass accessible 2km from Chindrieux station or 11km from Culoz station 🚃

There is a new section of the Via Rhona between Motz and Serriere en Chautagne. It is well signposted towards Motz and then winds through fields and parallel to the main road without much guidance.
