Topo North side
The Col de Chatillon - 741 m - links the Giffre and Arve valleys. Don't be fooled by its modest altitude and short slope - 3.7 km from Taninges: this pass can be climbed on an average gradient of 4.5%. On the other hand, you'll need to be careful with traffic, which can be heavy at certain times of the day. At the summit, there's a beautiful view of the peaks of the Massifs du Chablais and du Giffre.
