J’ai bien aimé cette montée. Le début est donc plus difficile jusqu’à l’auberge des Seiglières (c’est-à-dire quand même 7/8 km). De la circulation assez dense jusqu’à Saint Martin, mais ensuite c’est nettement plus calme. La montée est longue et il faut bien gérer son effort, ce qui ne m’a pas empêché d’être juste.
Although marginally easier than the more popular side, this makes up for it with better scenery. The top few kilometres are on a balcony road with views over the city and the mountains. The first part of this ascent, up to the village of Saint-Martin are quite busy, but from there it gets a lot quieter. Other reviews suggest this route is busier, but after the village, both seem similarly light (during a normal Monday).
The easier side, although a little longer, still has some more complicated passages that break the legs.
Versant plus facile bien qu'un peu plus long, on a tout de même certains passages plus compliqués qui cassent les pattes.
Of the two accesses to Chamrousse from Uriage, this is the longest and unfortunately also the most frequented by motorists. The beginning is relatively difficult, and from the place called Les Seiglières, it becomes easy or very easy. The road is as wide as a boulevard and very exposed to the sun, especially at the beginning, so it should be avoided in summer for those who fear the heat. Some interesting viewpoints along the way on the Grésivaudan valley.
Des deux accès à Chamrousse à partir d'Uriage, c'est le plus long et malheureusement aussi le plus fréquenté par les automobilistes. Le début est relativement difficile, et à partir du lieu-dit les Seiglières, cela devient facile voire très facile. La route est large comme un boulevard et très exposée au soleil, surtout au début donc à éviter en été pour ceux qui craignent la chaleur. Quelques points de vue intéressants en cours de route sur la vallée du Grésivaudan.
