Quiet climbs with a large shaded section. The road is well maintained. The slope is very regular, so there's not really much to rest about, and if the wind is head-on, the climb can be really tough. You can quickly see the "oeillon" antenna, which would discourage many a climber.... read more

Quiet climbs with a large shaded section. The road is well maintained. The slope is very regular, so there's not really much to rest about, and if the wind is head-on, the climb can be really tough. You can quickly see the "oeillon" antenna, which would discourage many a climber.

Ascensions calme avec une grande partie ombragée. La route est suffisamment bien entretenue. Pour ce qui est du sportif, la pente est très régulière, pas vraiment de quoi se reposer, si vent de face, l'ascension peut être vraiment pénible. On peut rapidement voir l'antenne de l'oeillon ce qui en decouragerait plus d'un

A very pleasant alternative to the Chavanay route, with far fewer cars on this side of the road and very even gradients.

Variante très sympa à monter par rapport à chavanay, il y a de ce côté là beaucoup moins de voitures et les pentes sont très régulières.
