Quite a steady climb, with some fine sections sheltered by trees. The road is in good condition. The start in Choex isn't very pleasant (you're skirting a busy road). Once you leave Choex it's much better and the climb becomes very interesting! The view on arrival is OK, but not unbeatable either.
Montée assez régulière, avec de beaux passages abrités par les arbres. La route est en bon état. Le début à Choex n'est pas très agréable (on longe une route assez passante). Une fois quitté Choex c'est bien mieux et la montée devient très intéressante! La vue à l'arrivée est OK mais pas non plus imprenable.
It's a tough climb with no respite, but the road is really pretty! If you manage to look up from the handlebars, you'll enjoy an incredible view of the Vaud Alps. I did it as far as Les Giettes, +800m. and descended via Vérossaz.
Une montée difficile et sans répit, mais la route est vraiment jolie! Si vous arrivez à lever le nez du guidon, vous profiterez d'une vue incroyable sur les Alpes vaudoises. Je l'ai fait jusqu'aux Giettes, +800m. et descendu par Vérossaz.
Beautiful col to climb, reminded me very much of the difficulty of the alpe d'huez. At the start of the climb, you can choose if you want to take an alternative route with gradients of 22 - 25％, in my opinion worth a try.
Prachtige col om te beklimmen, deed me erg denken aan de moeilijkheidsgraad van de alpe d'huez. Tijdens de start van de beklimming kan er gekozen worden of je een alternatieve route wil nemen met stijgingspercentages van 22 - 25％, naar mijn mening het proberen waard.
