The first kilometre is not easy and the road surface is not great. Once past the gorges, the slope becomes more accessible on a grippy surface. Some bends allow you to get going again. The last km is hard and tricky. Many were surprised by this exhausting and painful end, which will hurt your legs if you have climbed quickly.
Le premier km n'est pas facile et la chaussée n'est pas formidable. Passé les gorges, la pente redevient plus abordable sur un revêtement accrocheur. Certains virages permettent de se relancer. Le dernier km est dur et piégeux. Beaucoup se sont laissés surprendre par cette fin usante et pénible et qui fera mal aux jambes si vous avez monté rapidement.
