Ascent of the Col de Joux Plane from Samoëns

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

At 1,712 meters above sea level, the Col de Joux Plane is not the highest pass in the Alps. But its steep gradient from Samoëns, averaging 8.5%, earns it a hors catégorie classification despite only an eleven-kilometer climb.
