A fairly easy climb, but one to be avoided on very hot days. I recommend doing it in the morning as there's nowhere to protect yourself from the sun.
Don't start out too hard because the higher you go, the steeper the gradient, and you need to keep your pedal power up for the last 5 kilometres of the climb.
The climb from Entraigues is well worth it for the pleasant (but dangerous) descent to Bourg-d'Oisans.
Montée assez simple mais à éviter par les jours de grande chaleur. Je conseille de la faire le matin car il n'y a nul part des moments où l'on se protège du soleil.
Ne pas partir trop fort car plus on monte plus la pente d'accentue, il faut en garder sous la pédale pour les 5 derniers kilomètres d'ascensions.
La montée depuis Entraigues vaut la peine afin de réaliser la descente assez agréable (mais dangereuse) vers Bourg-d'Oisans
On a 40 degree day, the exposed south facing climb feels way harder than it should. The valley and scenery are stunning and the early k's a pleasure, but it's got a real kick to it. What was just a linking climb turned out to be one of the hardest of our week in the Alps. Don't under estimate if the sun is out, there is nowhere to hide!!!!
Good cafe at the top though.....and lovely descent back to Bourg really rewards
Nice climb. Fairly wide road, but traffic wasn't too bad. Not a steep climb. You can keep a reasonable pace. Maybe therefore a little boring compared to the beautiful hairpin climbs in the area.
Aardige klim. Redelijk brede weg, maar toch viel het verkeer mee. Geen steile klim. Je kan een redelijk tempo blijven houden. Misschien daardoor ook wel een beetje saai in vergelijking met de mooie klimmen met haarspeldbochten die in de buurt liggen.
Climbed from this side because I came from the Col de la Morte. Compared to the other climbs in the region that I have had, this one was very boring. But I guess the fact that I was suffering from the previous two climbs also played a part. The road surface was fine and it was not very busy. The descent towards Bourg d'Oisans was beautiful.
Vanuit deze kant beklommen omdat ik vanaf de Col de la Morte kwam. Vergeleken met de andere beklimmingen in de regio die ik gehad heb was deze erg saai. Maar het speelt vast mee dat ik aan het afzien was door de vorige twee beklimmingen. Het wegdek was wel prima en het was niet heel druk. De afdaling richting Bourg d'Oisans was wel prachtig.
Not too difficult climb, especially the first 10km are (firmly) false flat. The road is often fairly straight here, so it is not really exciting.
Niet al te moeilijke klim, zeker de eerste 10km zijn (stevig) vals plat. De weg loopt hier wel vaak redelijk rechtdoor, dus echt spannend wordt het niet.
First climb in the Alps, nice to get into because starts very quiet and gets steeper towards the end, but never really steep. Wonderfully quiet and the tarmac is fine.
Eerste klim in de Alpen, mooi om erin te komen want begint heel rustig en wordt naar einde steiler, maar nooit echt steil. Heerlijk rustig en asfalt is prima.
