Excellent little climb, especially after the first km or so, once you turn off the main road. Enough gradient to feel like something without ever presenting a really difficult wall. Good chance to do a climb without too much necessary expenditure, or to work on speed a little above an endurance tempo. Beautiful view throughout and gorgeous lake at the top is a bonus.
Nice climb, never really tough and manageable in length. At the end a nice little lake with catering facilities.
Leuk klimmetje, nooit echt zwaar en qua lengte te overzien. Op het eind een leuk meertje waar ook horeca is.
Not a difficult climb, a recovery climb. It is pretty and does not receive too much traffic. It is well suited for those who are starting their pass season. If you are doing the difficult passes it is a nice end point for your long rides. The lake allows you to get your legs wet.
Une montée pas difficile, de reprise. Elle est jolie et ne reçoit pas trop de trafic. Elle convient bien pour ceux qui commencent leur saison des cols. Si vous faites les cols difficiles c'est un joli terminus pour vos longues sorties. Le lac permet de mouiller les jambes.
