Col du Corbier (West side)

Col du Corbier (West side)

From Le Biot, the steeper side of the Col du Corbier climbs 6 km at 8.6% to 1,237 m, in the Chablais, Haute-Savoie, France. Races heading for Châtel come up this way. The Tour de France first crossed the col in 1975, in Lucien Van Impe’s time trial from Morzine to Châtel. In 2013 David Veilleux went over the top alone on the first stage of the Critérium du Dauphiné and won at Champéry.

This ride starts down the Dranse d’Aulps valley, passes near the ruins of the Abbaye d’Aulps and climbs through Le Biot. In 2025 the Corbier was the last climb of the Tour de France Femmes: Demi Vollering led over the top, then Pauline Ferrand-Prévot attacked 6.7 km from Châtel and won the stage and the Tour. The ride ends just over the col, beside a chapel built in 1844.
