A steep, narrow Tour de France col above Morzine.
The D354 over the Col de Joux Plane at 1,691 m links Morzine and Samoëns, a steep, narrow Haute-Savoie col that has decided more than one Tour de France with its relentless ramps and a sudden view of Mont Blanc from the top. Demanding; mind the gradient, the cyclists, and the tight, tree-lined bends.
