You first take the main road towards Val Thorens for a good 5 km.
Then you go straight towards la coche which fortunately cannot be missed.
Immediately you come to a steep section! The start of the climb is nicely regular but once you head towards la coche you have irregular sections which makes it tough.
The views vary from forest to beautiful vistas.
Personally I prefer this climb far above fall towers once you head towards la coche you have peace and quiet, enjoy the birds crickets butterflies and salamanders.
Pure enjoyment instead of the busy through road.
