In cycling circles, the Joux-Plane pass is reputed as being one of the six most challenging passes in the French mountains, along with the Galibier, Izoard, Alpe d'Huez, Mont Ventoux and Tourmalet ascents.
This walk is suitable for all and provides some breathtaking views of Mont-Blanc.
This pass has often been a justice of the peace for the riders of the Tour de France © and the Dauphiné Libéré ©.
From the Col de Joux Plane this route follows the ridge leading from the Pointe de Chamossiere to the summit of the Pointe d'Angolon. This is a little frequented but very interesting hike that opens onto a beautiful panorama.
Cross country skiing in the heart of the magnificent scenery of the Joux Plane pass.
