  • The ascent to Col du Coq is very demanding.

  • The Col du Coq - 1434 m - is the highest road pass in the Chartreuse Massif. At the top, under the eye of the magnificent and impressive Dent de Crolles, which seen from this angle, offers a sublime ridge similar to that of a rooster, you'll be rewarded with a magnificent view of the Massif de Belledonne.
