Tips from the Community
Medieval origins (11th - 12th centuries): The religious site is of very ancient origin. From the end of the 11th century, several religious buildings are mentioned in the commune. The Saint-Pierre church itself is cited under the name "ecclesia de Anos" in the famous cartulary of Saint Hugues (Bishop of Grenoble). In the Middle Ages, the church was directly dependent on the priory of Saint-Laurent of Grenoble, as attested by an official terrier dating from 1497 under the name "ecclesia Sancti Petri de Fortaressia".

1.5km for 150m of elevation gain. As soon as you leave the Col de Parménie, the gradient starts at 12%, then quickly increases to 14% and then climbs to 17%. It calms down a bit after the bend. The road is in good condition, relatively wide, and with little traffic (it's a dead end), which allows you to maneuver to cope with the slope.
