At 1,712 meters above sea level, the Col de Joux Plane is not the highest pass in the Alps. But its steep gradient from Samoëns, averaging 8.5%, earns it a hors catégorie classification despite only an eleven-kilometer climb.

Hard road ride. Very good fitness required. Mostly well-paved surfaces and easy to ride.
