This site is a collection of cycling routes and cols, mainly focusing on lac Annecy and the French Alps, plus a few Austrian, Hungarian and Czech routes.

It tries to provide directions, profiles, details, insights and useful information regarding these excellent climbs and rides.

Some of the altimetry charts are from www.zanibike.net/motore.aspx?lingua=eng and most of the maps and figures are from my Garmin Edge 705

The difficulty calculation is based on the following formula:

(H/D*100)*4+H2/D+D/100+(T-1000)/100

H= Height gained in meters, D=distance in meters, T= height of the mountain in meters
