A major challenge against an emblematic pass

 

If you like climbing, this challenge is for you!

 

The Col de Joux-Plane is offered to you during an extraordinary morning, dedicated to soft mobility and closed to motorised vehicles. Adopte 1 Col! allows amateurs and enthusiasts of this mythical pass to measure themselves against an emblematic monument of this sport, crossed 11 times by the Tour de France and 3 times by the Critérium du Dauphiné.

An ascent synonymous with celebration and panorama

The ascent of the Joux-Plane pass is an opportunity to discover wonderful panoramic views thanks to the balcony overlooking the Giffre valley and the view of the Mont-Blanc massif. A climb as physical as it is magnificent, which will almost make you forget the difference in altitude!

This morning is a convivial moment, to be shared with family or friends, under the sign of good humour and relaxation where each participant climbs at his own pace. On arrival at the summit, the Joux Plane lake, musical entertainment and spectacular views await you.
