Halfway through, the slope gradually steepens, alternating between 7 and 8% over several kilometres, with occasional steeper sections reaching 10%.
The last few kilometres sometimes reach up to 9%, before reaching the summit at 1,986 m.
-From Hauteluce, the climb to the Col des Saisies is about 7 km long with an elevation gain of 500 m. The first few kilometres are gradual (4-5%), allowing you to find your rhythm as you pass through hamlets and forests.
The central section becomes more sustained, with gradients ranging from 6 to 7%, punctuated by sections of 8% in the hairpin bends.
The return to La Giettaz is a mere formality.
