The climb from Lacourt is pretty tough, but be careful! The surprise is that the last kilometre is not asphalted. I had to do some gravel with my road bike... If you have a road bike, do the climb on your side. Magnificent scenery with an orientation table. Water point at the finish.... read more

L'ascension depuis lacourt est assez rude mais attention ! La surprise c'est que le dernier kilomètre n'est pas goudronnée.

J'ai du faire du gravel avec mon vélo route...
Si vous avez un vélo route faire l'ascension de lotre côté.

Paysage magnifique avec table d'orientation.
Point d'eau à l'arrivée.
