Lots of false flat and a spicier bit at the end. Not very special and more of a climb for easy cycling to the adjacent valley. The first part is a nice cycle path on the spot where the railway used to be.

A real from A to B climb. Don't think very many people will want to climb this one specifically. Ascent doesn't amount to much, mainly false flat uphill. The descent is fun with the curves though!

Used it as a warm-up for cycling to the Grand Ballon. It was ideal, only the descent was not great: there are road works going on.
