Carried out on May 3, 2021, the day of the lifting of the limitation to R10 from home.
Very beautiful ascent, calm in a green landscape but the problem is the state of the road which passes from good to average then bad to very bad with the approach of the final point.
Be careful in the summer to do it in the morning because it's hard in the afternoon and there are many unshaded parts.
The Climfinder graph is fairly representative of the terrain even if my GPS indicated a fairly long and very steep section before the hamlet of Villard with ％ between 14-15-16 and even 20 ％
A little after the exit of Villard we enter the forest and it blossoms good Pine, the road is in places heavily damaged to the point of mud and landslides because not maintained, the slope is a little less sustained and a slight descent will allow to recover before the final ascent of Bénétant.
Don't just stop at the sign, go through the hamlet as there is still 100-200M of tarmac to reach the end in a postcard setting.
Be careful on the descent because it shakes. Have a good ride.
Effectué le 3 mai 2021, le jour de la levée de la limitation à R10 du domicile.
Très belle ascension, calme dans un paysage verdoyant mais le hic c’est l’état de la chaussée qui passe de bonne à moyenne puis mauvaise à très mauvaise à l’approche du point final.
Attention l’été à effectuer le matin car ça cogne dur l’après-midi et les parties non ombragées sont nombreuses.
Le graphique de Climfinder est assez représentatif du terrain même si mon GPS a indiqué une portion assez longue est très pentue avant le hameau du Villard avec des ％ compris entre 14-15-16 et même 20 ％
Un peu après la sortie du Villard on entre dans la forêt et ça fleur bon le Pin, la route est par endroit fortement abîmée jusqu’à de la boue et des éboulements car non entretenue, la pente est un peu moins soutenue et une légère descente va permettre de récupérer avant la montée finale de Bénétant.
Ne vous contentez pas de vous arrêter au panneau, traversez le hameau car il reste 100-200M de bitume pour arriver à terme dans un décor de carte postale.
Soyez prudents dans la descente car ça secoue . Bonne ballade.
