Plan around: Col de la Croix: communal road, open May – November only (canton of Vaud). The source page does not state a vehicle type; it is a road route.
Route line is approximate. Plan with a navigation app before you ride.
Why it is a next step
The Pillon and Mosses are open, well-built main roads (max 11% and 10%). The finale over the Col de la Croix is different: it is a communal road with up to 12% and about 1,300 m of climbing from Ollon. It is only open from May to November. Ride it clockwise as described, or leave out the Croix for an easier day.
