Très peu de circulation, route globalement en bon état avec une montée abodrable pour beaucoup et une pente qui ne dépasse pas les 9% donc plutôt agréable à monter mais la vue n'est pas folle avec 2-3 ouvertures sur le lac pendant l'ascension mais pas grand chose en haut... read more

Very little traffic; the road is generally in good condition, with a climb that’s manageable for most people and a gradient that doesn’t exceed 9 per cent, so it’s quite a pleasant climb, but the view isn’t anything to write home about – there are two or three views of the lake along the way, but not much to see at the top.
