Despite the steep gradients at the start, it's a relatively easy climb. Lots of rest between the ramps, some of which are quite steep. I had to walk about 300 m because the stones on the road were too big, but the view and the peace and quiet are worth it if you're not looking for performance!

Malgré les pourcentages du début, c'est une montée relativement facile. Beaucoup de moment se repos entre les rampes qui sont pour certaines assez raide. J ai du marcher sur environ 300 m car les cailloux de la route était trop gros mais la vue et la tranquillité valent la peine si on cherche pas la performance !
