The second part of the tour joins the "Le classique" tour. Follow the direction of the Col du Pillon via the German-speaking villages of Saanenland. Descend from the summit of the Pillon to reach the Diablerets and Le Sépey. From there, attack the last pass of this challenge: the Col des Mosses before returning to your starting point.
