Crêt de Châtillon, Mountain summit in Viuz-la-Chiésaz, France

The Crêt de Châtillon reaches an elevation of 1702 meters and features steep ridges characteristic of hogback formations in the French Alps.

The Tour de France planned its first ascent of Crêt de Châtillon in 1998, but the stage was neutralized due to cyclist protests against anti-doping measures.

The mountain serves as a reference point for local communities, with numerous hiking paths connecting surrounding villages through alpine meadows and forests.

Multiple cycling routes lead to the summit, including a 17.4-kilometer northern path from Annecy with a 7% gradient and an 11.3-kilometer southeastern approach from Quintal.

The summit provides different climbing experiences through various access points, from Col de Leschaux and Quintal, each presenting distinct technical challenges for cyclists.
