I would recommend gravel tyres of 32 mm or wider if you want to attempt the unpaved part. It's hardly more than a goat trail and it's really no fun riding it. Why it's labeled the "Route Panoramique" is a mystery to me - you only get great views when you're about to turn back on the main road. However, overall this climb is worth it, especially the part after the restaurant La Lierre at 1,390 meters.
Nice route, very gradual but there is a caution, there is a Gravel section. I've also attached a photo. Then, as you leave the forest, you come to the road that climbs back up through Hauteville and Bange. Passable on a road bike, but unpleasant and with the risk of a puncture or torn tyre.
Beau tracé, très progressif mais il y a une attention, il y a une portion Gravel. Je joins aussi une photo. Ensuite, en sortant de la forêt, on retrouve la route qui remonte par Hauteville et Bange. Praticable en vélo de route mais désagréable et risque de crevaison ou déchirer un pneu.
Carried out on 4 July 2020,
There is a quieter, harder and prettier alternative to the one shown here.
From Ugine, just next to the fire station, take the Rue du 11 novembre which joins the Route de Héry at a place called Le Château. You'll have to go through the barrier on foot and, if you need to, fill up with fresh water at the pool as it's not possible thereafter.
A little further on, head towards Bange, Hauteville (a small road on the left).
This slope is prettier in terms of scenery because it is less wooded, and the tarmac is just right at certain sections.
You will rejoin the original route described here above Hauteville.
Have a good trip and be careful
Effectué le 4 juillet 2020,
Il existe une alternative plus calme, plus dure et plus jolie que celle indiqué ici.
Au départ d’Ugine juste à côté de la caserne des Pompiers il faut prendre la Rue du 11 novembre qui permet de rejoindre la route de Héry au lieu dit le Château, il faudra passer la barrière à pied et si vous en avez besoin faire le plein d’eau fraîche au bassin car ce n’est plus possible ensuite.
Un peu plus loin prendre direction Bange, Hauteville ( une petite route sur la gauche )
Ce versant est plus joli niveau paysage car moins boisé, le bitume est juste correct suivant les portions.
Vous rejoindrez l’itinéraire initial décrit ici au-dessus de Hauteville.
Bonne route et soyez prudent
