Another route up the Val d'Anniviers that is much less busy than the one to Vissoie. It adds a bit of elevation gain as you pass through Vercorin, but also a nice, fairly technical descent to reach Mayoux before heading back up towards Grimentz to get to the dam and its famous final ramp, which alone is worth the climb!

Une autre route pour monter leVal d'Anniviers qui est beaucoup moins fréquentée que celle de Vissoie. Sa rajoute un peu de dénivelé car on passe par Vercorin mais aussi une jolie descente assez technique pour rejoindre Mayoux avant de remonter direction Grimentz pour aller chercher le barrage et sa fameuse ultime rampe qui vaut a elle seule de faire cette montée!
