Col of La Croix

Table of contents
Here is a nice challenge in a loop. From Rennaz, we climb the famous Col de la Croix, located above Les Plans-sur-Bex. The ascent is steep.

Start from Rennaz

This course is a loop starting from Rennaz. The first 17 kilometers are not very difficult. It is at the exit of Bex that things get complicated. In Bévieux, turn right and follow the route des plans until Plans-sur-Bex. The road flattens out a bit and then picks up again 5km later.

Back to the starting point

From the top of the pass, it’s all downhill. And what a descent? About 30km of pure pleasure. The way back goes through Les Diablerets, Le Sépey, before returning to Aigle and Rennaz.
