Fine to do this climb for an amateur like me. Fine clear roads also for a safe descent.
Prima te doen dit klimmetje voor een amateur zoals ik. Prima overzichtelijke wegen ook voor een veilige afdaling.
Long runner, very nice first section through a rocky gorge, then gently climbing further. Not a difficult climb, but a long one. Tip: don't turn around, but also ride the descent to Croix Haute: spectacular views of snow-covered Alps! (At least in April)
Lange loper, zeer mooi eerste deel door een rotskloof, daarna rustig verder stijgend. Geen moeilijke klim, wel een lange. Tip: keer niet om, maar rijd ook de afdaling naar Croix Haute: spectaculair uitzicht op besneeuwde Alpen! (In april althans)
Nice pass of a decent length, we start with a gorge/river atmosphere then it goes up progressively towards the heights of the village of Glandage then Grimone. So there are several sections that punctuate the climb, fortunately because I'm not a big fan of long climbs. When I did it it was quite cold with snow on the surrounding peaks, almost nobody on the road, it was almost scary 😅. Beautiful wild scenery and a historic bakery in Grimone in case of hunger. The descent to the La Croix Haute pass is nice but a bit short!
Beau col d’une longueur honorable, on commence avec une ambiance gorge/rivières puis ça monte progressivement vers les hauteurs du village de glandage puis Grimone. Ça fait donc plusieurs sections qui rythment la montée, heureusement car je ne suis pas mega fan des longues montées. Quand je l’ai fait il faisait assez froid avec de la neige sur les sommets environnants, presque personne sur la routes, c’était presque flippant 😅. Paysages sauvages magnifiques et une boulangerie historique à Grimone en cas de fringale. Là descente sur le col de La Croix haute est sympa bien qu’un peu courte!
