A curvy paved road to Col de la Chambotte
Col de la Chambotte is a mountain pass at an elevation of 650m (2,132ft) above the sea level, located in the Savoie department in the Rhône-Alpes region in south-eastern France.
The road to the top is totally paved but pretty narrow. It’s called D991B. It features many narrow and unlit tunnels with some hairpin turns. Starting from Chindrieux the ascent is 4,99km long. Over this distance the elevation gain is 393meters. The average gradient is 7.9%. The climb gives you time to enjoy climbing along cliff-edge roads over-looking the Lac du Bourget. The drive is really beautiful.
