A nice little pass at the start of Marlens, the first half easy and the second much more complicated.
Not to be neglected.
The road is good, a bit less if you go down to Le Bouchet and then Serraval, traffic wise it's quiet.
The morning is cool because it is sunny most of the way.
Nice views of the surrounding mountains and the valley below.
Good road and be careful
Un petit col sympa au départ de Marlens, une première moitié facile et la deuxième beaucoup plus compliqué.
A ne pas négliger.
La route est bonne, un peu moins si vous descendez sur le Bouchet puis Serraval, niveau circulation c'est tranquille.
Le matin à la fraiche car en plein soleil presque tout le long.
De belles vues sur les massifs voisins et la vallée en contrebas.
Bonne route et prudence
My first col during this holiday and actually first alpine col ever. Nice to start with and not to underestimate. There are nicer and tougher ones in the region but because it was my first one it remains special.
Mijn eerste col tijdens deze vakantie en eigenlijk eerste alpen-col ooit. Mooie om mee te beginnen en niet te onderschatten. Er zijn mooiere en zwaardere in de regio maar omdat het mijn eerste was blijft hij bijzonder
Nice col in the circuit Col de l'Arpettaz, Col des Aravis, Col des Croix-Fry, Col du Plan Bois, Col du Marais and finally the Epine. Easy and nice to bang on.
Leuke col in het rondje Col de l'Arpettaz, Col des Aravis, Col des Croix-Fry, Col du Plan Bois, Col du Marais en als laatste de Epine. Makkelijk en lekker om op te knallen.
It's a nice climb. Very quiet. It is a bit trickier than the graph of the climb suggests, because my Wahoo continuously gave gradients between 6.3 and 11%.
Het is een mooie klim. Heel rustig. Het is wel wat lastiger dan de grafiek van de klim suggereert, want mijn Wahoo gaf doorlopend stijgingspercentages tussen de 6.3 en 11 % aan.
If you are at a campground near the lake, then you should definitely take this climb! Story above is true as a bus.
Als je toch op een camping aan het meer zit, dan moet je deze klim zeker mee pakken! Verhaal hier boven klopt als een bus.
