Nice climb with little shelter on a hot day. Along the way you'll come across another spring, should your water bottle evaporate. If you have a gravel bike, this is highly recommended. Then you can continue cycling from Chambran to, say, the waterfall.

Mooie klim met op een hete dag weinig beschutting. Onderweg kom je nog een bron tegen, mocht je bidon verdampt zijn. Als je een gravelbike hebt is dat een aanrader. Dan kun je vanaf Chambran nog een eind doorrijden tot bv het watervalletje. De gaten in de weg zijn 13/8/24 weer opgevuld. Dat maakt het dalen weer iets makkelijker.

Super to do this climb. Little traffic and therefore at least as interesting. No, not HC or 1st category, but this one is going to make you very happy. In short: do it.

There are two ways to start this one. The turn earlier leads you through a super steep (good rideable tarmac) where it says "sauf riverains".

Super om deze klim te doen. Weinig verkeer en daardoor minstens zo interessant. Nee, geen HC of 1e categorie, maar deze gaat je erg blij maken. Kortom: doen.

Er zijn twee manieren om deze te starten. De afslag eerder leidt je door een supersteil (goed berijdbaar asfalt) waar “sauf riverains” staat.

In 2021, the last stretch where the road was really the worst was completely resurfaced. This leaves the climb very much finer. Highly recommended.

In 2021 is het laatste stuk waar de weg echt het allerslechtst was compleet opnieuw geasfalteerd. Dit laat de klim heel veel fijner. Een echte aanrader.

Beautiful climb far into the valley of the Chambran. After having cycled through the neighbourhoods of Pelvoux, you leave the civilized world behind you and nothing is left for you but peace, mountains and beautiful nature. With a continuous view on the steep walls of the Pelvoux you slowly crawl up to the end of the climb. Once at the top there is (in season) a lovely terrace in the sun for a well deserved drink. The climb can be very hot in summer. The descent is quiet by the somewhat worse road surface. This climb is also part of the three valleys tour 'Pré de Mdm Carle, Vallon de Chambran, Vallon de l'Onde ( Entre les Aigues). Too early in the season you can't cycle all the way through.

Prachtige klim ver de vallei van de Chambran in. Na eerst even door de wijken van Pelvoux te hebben gefietst verlaat je de bewoonde wereld en rest je niks anders dan rust, bergen en prachtige natuur. Met een continu uitzicht op de steile wanden van de Pelvoux kruip je langzaam omhoog naar het eindpunt van de klim. Eenmaal boven is er (in het seizoen) een heerlijk terrasje in de zon voor een welverdiend drankje. De klim kan erg warm zijn in de zomer. De afdaling gaat rustig door het wat slechtere wegdek. Deze klim is ook onderdeel van de drie valleien tocht ‘Pré de Mdm Carle, Vallon de Chambran, Vallon de l’Onde ( Entre les Aigues). Te vroeg in het seizoen kan je nog niet helemaal doorfietsen.

From Vallouise in combination with Puy Aillaud and Pré de Madame Carle driven. Beautiful from the point that you come to ride parallel with the stream.

Vanuit Vallouise in combinatie met Puy Aillaud en Pré de Madame Carle gereden. Mooi vanaf het punt dat je parallel met de beek komt te rijden.

The beginning of the climb is nothing special, but the views on the second half make this a wonderful climb for me. And you are practically alone with the butterflies and marmots. After finishing, I continued for a few kilometres on the gravel path until I couldn't go any further. Great! I descended slowly because of the bad tarmac.

Het begin van de klim is niet bijzonder, maar de uitzichten op de tweede helft maken dit voor mij een prachtige klim. En je bent praktisch alleen met de vlinders en marmotten. Na aankomst nog een paar kilometer doorgefietst over het grind/gravelpad tot ik niet meer verder kwam. Super! Het dalen heb ik vanwege het slechte asfalt traag gedaan.
