Road little used by cars or by locals living in mountain villages. Good quality road for the climb and the first 7km are quite tough with 10 to 12％ in full sun. After that the percentages are more acceptable for a climb of over 30 km. The quality of the road on the descent is pretty mediocre for the 1st km. Then it's good enough to pick up speed. Breathtaking scenery. Animals (goats, cows, pigs) wander along the road. So take care on the downhill sections. ... read more

Route peu fréquentée par les voitures ou par les habitants vivant dans les villages de montagne. Route de bonne qualité pour la montée et les 7 premiers km sont assez costaud avec du 10 à 12％ en plein soleil. Après les pourcentages sont plus acceptables pour une montée de plus de 30 km. La qualité de la route de la descente est assez médiocre sur les 1er km. Ensuite bonne qualité pour bien prendre de la vitesse. Des paysages à couper le souffle. Des animaux (biquettes, vaches, cochons) se promènent le long de la route. Donc faire attention lors des descentes.
