5.0 by davidofOne of the hardest climbs in the Alps. 11km at 12％ with 1km over 20％. This climb is a serious challenge to anyone who likes long, hard, steep roads.

The run-up is beautiful. On the steep part 20％ + after 7km the road surface is bad with men der holes and loose stones. and slippery. With a road bike with normal profile not doable!
Turned the bike after a km run and rode the descent very carefully at walking pace.

Heb na een km lopen de fiets gedraaid en uiterst voorzichtig stapvoets de afdaling gereden.

The road is pot holed after the hamlet of Bedomye
