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.

Difficult but good to be out of sight of the cars on the way up.

An opportunity to avoid riding near cars. It's a shame we have to slow down so often to pass the gates that stop cars.

Path through the Bonmont Golf Course at the foot of the castle. The 62-hectare park is an oasis of peace and greenery. You can admire the view of Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc on a clear day.

Perched at an altitude of 1,323 metres, the Col de la Faucille welcomes you with a 360-degree panorama of the Alps and the Valserine Valley. Whether you attack it from the north or the south, the spectacle is not long in coming. Its ascent from the south, on the road to Gex, has the appearance of a great Alpine pass with its many bends and countless views of the Mont-Blanc massif.
