Nine days ahead of 2023, the safety commission signed the minutes for the summer opening of the road giving access to the Col de la Colombière this Tuesday, May 7. All the security work having been carried out and the roadway having been restored, nothing stood in the way of the reopening of departmental road 4.
The Department’s roads service, firefighters, gendarmes, municipal police, André Perillat-Amédé, mayor of Grand-Bornand, with Gilbert Fournier-Bidoz, elected official, Marie-Pierre-Pernat, mayor of Reposoir, with Catherine Pasquier-Chaneac, deputy , immediately noticed that the popularity of the collar has not weakened. During the fifteen minutes of the commission, despite weather more autumn than spring, three foreign bikers, certainly randomly guided by their GPS, a couple from the country and a local sportsman on a bike rushed to cross the 1,618 m altitude.
After the reopening of the portion of the RD 4 washed away last November by a torrential larva on the Le Reposoir side allowing the Repojerands to return to their homes last week, this Tuesday marks the return of tourist and soon agricultural activity at the summit of the mythical collar.
