Delicate desserts with double cream or fondue, even in summer. A visit is worthwhile. Highly sought-after, reservations recommended. Closed during the winter season.

The route up from Biere on the Swiss side is a solid steady climb with a few 12% and 13% sections. Traffic is quite light and the road is excellent. The trees give some nice protection from the sun and wind. Crossing the col northwards takes you down to the Vallé de Joux on a pretty steep decent with great corners and some short straights. My brakes made sounds I have never heard before! I did this and Col de Mollendrux together for a great 80k / 1,500 m ride. Recommended.

The town of Morges lies not far from Lausanne on the shores of Lake Geneva, overlooking the majestic Mont Blanc. It's a fantastic base for exploring the magnificent landscape. With its impressive castle, which houses several museums, Morges is considered a cultural hotspot. Its charming streets and alleys, as well as the Tulip Festival, which takes place from April to May, attract an international crowd every year. A market is held in the heart of the old town, in the pedestrian zone on the Grand Rue, on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
