The Col de Joux-Plane is the pass which links Samoëns to Morzine through mountains between Mont-Blanc and Lake Geneva. The road became gravely during summer 1968 and paved in october 1969. The different road variations on the Samoëns side of the pass, fit closely the relief shapes: so, the bottom of the pass is very steep, farther, the road serves small hamlets scattered on the sun side shelves, the slope may be locally soft before getting steep drastically (details).
The property of the pass is its slope very irregular: racing cyclists who are pure climbers build there their win, cyclists who are mighty on flat roads do not find their pace. All of them leaves in the air the magic of the Tour de France.

Trucks are not allowed to take Joux-Plane, the road does not know neither noise nor big Diesel smoke, it remains narrow and climbs among meadows without a hairpin bend or a turn looking like another. Above 1000-meter altitude, the Mont-Blanc massif appears, royal, with its best profile.

That are the reasons why the col de Joux-Plane is the most beautiful pass in the world for
