As far as the region is concerned, I'd say it's a must-do climb. There are large sections in the shade, which is great in summer, and the road is in good condition (impeccable as you pass through Bersac).... read more

Pour la région, je dirais que c’est une montée à faire absolument. Des grandes parties à l’ombre appréciables en été, et l’état de la route est correct (impeccable dans la traversée de Bersac).

A lovely long climb for the department. After passing through the market town of Bersac, there is a slight descent and then a 3km climb through the forest, including a beautiful hairpin bend on the right and a magnificent panorama over the north of the department and the Creuse. Steady gradient and road in good condition overall, with little traffic. A famous climb in the region!

Une jolie et longue ascension pour le département. Après une traversée du bourg de Bersac, légère descente puis 3 km de montée en forêt avec notamment une belle épingle sur la droite et un panorama magnifique sur le nord du département et la Creuse. Pente régulière et route en bon état global et peu fréquentée. Une ascension célèbre de la région !
