Sporty side
This fairly short circuit, with three pass climbs and elevation gain, remains relatively easy.
The major difficulty is the Col de la Croix Rosier. We go up during half of the course and we go down on the second. The slopes are regular and never excessive, but 640 m of elevation must be achieved over 16 km.
A minimum of training is necessary or provide breaks at pass passages.
Tourism side
A small peak detached from the surrounding massifs and isolated in the heart of the vineyard, Mont Brouilly is an emblem of the Beaujolais vineyard. For centuries, its sunny hillsides have been used for viticulture.
This wine-growing past dates back to antiquity. A place of spirituality, it has been surmounted since 1857 by Notre-Dame-aux-Raisins, a chapel built to protect the vines from disease and the vagaries of the weather.
The natural and historical wealth of Mont Brouilly has earned it geosite and Espace Naturel Sensible titles.

Safety information
Col de la croix Marchampt by Marchampt : A very nice climb in the Beaujolais Vert. You will start your ascent as soon as you leave the D337. The first stage will take you up to Quinci-en-Beaujolais, there will be a few slopes but nothing to put you in the red.the second stage will take you up to Marchampt. The second stage takes you to Marchampt, where you will go from flat to flat to uphill. A transition before the third part of 4 km which will take you to the summit. The slopes will be between 7 and 8% on average, enough to make a selection among the groups who wish to challenge themselves. You will be winding your way through the woods, and will have to relaunch after the few more challenging turns. This climb is a must in the Beaujolais.Tips and hints
