The day after climbing the Iseran.... The rain is threatening. Not motivated to do a long climb today. This little Amidon climb is extremely short and it's so rare in these parts. The road is in rough shape but it's only a problem on the way back down. The views over the valley and the fortress are pleasant. The gradients are never too steep. The road is deserted. The village of Amidon is quite pretty. The finish is in front of the house of P'tit Louis, who collects old bikes...... read more

For those who want or need a short climb.

Lendemain d’ascension de l’Iseran…. La pluie menace. Pas motivé pour faire une longue montée aujourd’hui.
Cette petite côte d’Amidon est extrêmement courte et c’est si rare dans les parages.
La route est dans état approximatif mais ça ne gêne que pour redescendre. Les vues sur la vallée et sur la forteresse sont agréables. Les pourcentages ne sont jamais bien violents. La route est déserte. Le village d’Amidon est assez mignon. L’arrivée se fait devant la maison de P’tit Louis qui collectionne les vieux vélos…
Pour ceux qui ont envie ou besoin d’une montée courte.
