A rolling pass in the Soanan valley on the Valsonne side and on the other side towards Amplepuis. The road is quite busy with in particular the passage of heavy goods vehicles. However, a very wide cycle lane with good asphalt allows you to climb safely. You can make the junction towards the Col de la Croix de l'Orme, the Col des Cassettes at the top.

Nice pass to do from St Just d'Avray in the forest, without significant percentage and quite short. We also climb on the St Appo side with beautiful views of the Pilon wind turbines. It can also be reached from the Col de la Croix Thel.

Small chapel hidden in the middle of the woods, locked, you can still take a look through the hole in the door and see that it is still maintained...but by whom?
