The climb starts in the picturesque village of La Motte, the first kilometres running smoothly. Once higher up, the vegetation reduces and you enter a barren landscape. It can get very hot. It is best to provide drinks. Up to Chalancon, it runs evenly uphill at about 6%. Beyond the mini-village of Chalancon, it is several more km at the same percentages. You then reach the top of the Col de la Croix. You then have a few km to go to the top of the Chamauche. These are slightly steeper still.

De beklimming vangt aan in het pittoreske dorpje La Motte, de eerste kilometers lopen vlot. Eenmaal hogerop vermindert de begroeiing en kom je in een dor landschap. Het kan er erg warm worden. Best drinken voorzien. Tot aan Chalancon loopt het gelijkmatig bergop aan zo'n 6%. Voorbij het minidorpje Chalancon is het nog enkele km aan dezelfde percentages. Je bereikt dan de top van de Col de la Croix. Je hebt dan nog enkele km te gaan tot de top van de Chamauche. Deze zijn nog net iets steiler.
