This climb isn't extraordinarily hard or pretty, but it's at the foot of the town of Embrun, and is the finale of the famous Embrunman triathlon race, so you have to do it. The road isn't in excellent condition, but it's still decent for road bikes. It's especially on the descent in the other direction that you need to be careful. If you do it at the end of the day, you run the risk of a good (and very hot) headwind.... read more

Cette montée n’est pas extraordinairement dure, ni jolie, mais elle se fait au pied de la ville d’embrun, et est le final de la fameuse course triathlon Embrunman, pour cet aspect, il faut la faire. La route n’est pas dans un état excellent mais reste convenable pour des vélos de route. C’est surtout à la descente ans l’autre sens qu’il faudra faire attention. Si vous la faites en fin de journée, vous risquer d’avoir un bon vent de face (et très chaud).
