The climb is varied, passing through forest and then opening out into more open spaces. There is a fountain in Montalbert to refuel and refresh the beast"
At the top: unfortunately of no interest ... you arrive at a VTF car park.
The main interest for novices is to realise what a 9km climb at 7％ represents.

Chill climb through the forest, with a gradient of around 7–8％.
Nice, quiet, and car-free — pretty decent overall.

Very monotonous from Longefoy onwards, a wide road with no soul... long straights with no end in sight, only to arrive at a car park with a horrible building.
Frankly to be avoided.

Fun

This climb is one of the easier once in the area, but it is a nice one to do.
