Nice climb, fun to do. Fairly busy at first, then nice and quiet. Roads are good and the descent via Crans is top notch. At the top is a little restaurant for a coke and cake ;)... read more

Mooie klim, leuk om te doen. In het begin redelijk druk, daarna mooi rustig. Wegen zijn goed en het dalen via Crans is top. Boven zit een restaurantje voor een cola en taart;)
