A long and more difficult climb than it seems, with steep sections, especially towards the end (when you are tired...).
Beautiful landscapes at the arrival on the plateau. I'm sure you'll be able to fill up your water bottles on the way up to Corenc or Le Sappey, but there's no water at the Col de Porte or at the Auberge de Charmant Som.
Montée longue et plus difficile qu'il n'y parait, avec des tronçons à forts pourcentages surtout vers la fin (quand on est fatigué ...).
Beaux paysages à l'arrivée sur le plateau. Bien remplir ses bidons dans la montée à Corenc ou au Sappey, pas d'eau au Col de Porte ou à l'Auberge de Charmant Som.
At the Porte Pass, in front of the bar-restaurant, there is a rotating handle fountain, which was in use a fortnight ago when I passed. With the current drought this may not be the case, but there is still the possibility of refuelling at the bar itself.
Au col de Porte, devant le bar-restaurant, se trouve une fontaine à poignée rotative, qui était en service il y a deux semaines quand j'y suis passé (j'ai vu quelqu'un s'y servir alors que j'étais moi-même attablé au bar). Avec la sécheresse actuelle, cette fontaine est peut-être coupée mais il y a toujours possibilité de se ravitailler au bar lui-même.
