Nice ride up through the valley with a few small bistros in the small villages along the way if you are inclined to stop for a beer or coffee. Worth going to the top for the views.

It is a really nice climb though, even if there are not many hairpins. The road is very good and very quiet. Once at the top, it pays to show some audacity and cycle through the tunnel to end up on top of the dam (even though, strictly speaking, you're only allowed to hike there).
Naar het stuwmeer. Je fietst eigenlijk heel deVal de Bagnes door, de vallei waar de beste Raclettekaas afkomstig van is. De weg naar Le Chable is wel druk, vanaf daar is het heel rustig. De meeste route-bouwers zullen je op een beter, rustiger baantje sturen. Deze loopt net rechts van de grote baan tussen Vollèges en Le Chable en kan ik zeker aanraden. Het is wel echt een leuke beklimming, ook al zijn er niet veel haarspelden. De weg ligt zeer goed en zeer rustig. Eenmaal boven loont het om enig stoutmoedigheid te vertonen en door de tunnel te fietsen om bovenop de stuwdam terecht te komen (ook al mag je strikt genomen enkel naar daar wandelen).
