Le Col des Mosses

Connecting Aigle to Château-d’Oex via a well-maintained and steady mountain road, the Col des Mosses forms an important link between the Vaud Chablais and the Pays-d’Enhaut. Its moderate gradients make it a route appreciated both by seasoned cyclists and by those enjoying longer leisure rides.

Throughout the ascent, cyclists benefit from open views of the surrounding peaks, alpine pastures, and the characteristic forests of the Vaud Alps. The natural setting and generally light traffic enhance its appeal to road cycling enthusiasts.

Located near several major cycling routes, including the Route Panorama Alpin, the Col des Mosses is an ideal starting point for exploring the mountain roads of the region. Its position also allows easy access to the Col du Pillon, Col de la Croix, or Col de la Pierre du Moëllé.

Easily accessible from both sides, the Col des Mosses is today one of the most frequented cycling passes in the Vaud Alps and remains a popular stage for cyclists seeking alpine scenery and accessible climbs.
