On the descent from the Col du Mont Tournier, remember to leave the D42 fairly quickly (just before St-Maurice-de-Rotherens) to take a small unnamed road that will guide you to the Col de la Lattaz, which this time takes you over another mountain, that of Chaffaron. Not too difficult, apart from a 1.5 km "thigh-burning" ramp at 5.5%. From the hamlet of La Lattaz, an upward false flat will guide you to the summit of the pass at 759 m.

Topo south side

The South-facing slope presents a double-edged climb... indeed, while enjoying a pretty country atmosphere, a gentle ascent then an arduous finale to the intermediate Col de la Crusille and Col de la Lattaz.

You now head from one major French Alpine lake to another! Cycle along this stage to reach the banks of Lac d’Aiguebelette, France’s third-largest natural lake. You leave behind the Chaîne de l’Épine Range, with its great views and mysterious legends, to continue along ways that keep you up on high. Between Aiguebelette and the Rhône Valley, this stage of the P’tites Routes du Soleil® leads you over three further passes: the Col du Mont-Tournier (821m); the Col de la Lattaz (754m); and the Col du Banchet (591m).
