It's a steep climb! But it's a nice climb, you'd think you were climbing a tough Alpine pass.

Ça grimpe sec! Mais c’est une belle montée, pour un peu on se croirait en train de gravir un col dur des Alpes.

One of the best climbs around. The first few kilometres are tough, with twists and turns worthy of a mountain pass. The final stretch is a false flat climb to the top. No traffic.

L'une des meilleures montée du coin. Les premiers kilomètres sont dures avec des lacets digne d'un col de montagne. Final en faux plat montant pour arriver en haut. Aucune circulation.

The first 3.95 kilometres are very steep, with a gradient always in excess of 8％, and some sections over 300m metres at more than 12/13％! The scenery is pretty from the second kilometre, as you soon get a great view of saint foy l'argentiere and the surrounding meadows. This is undoubtedly one of the toughest passes in the mont du lyonnais!

Les 3,95 premiers kilomètres sont très raides, avec une pente toujours supérieur à 8％, et certains passages sur 300m mètres à plus de 12/13％ ! Le paysage est joli des le deuxième kilomètre, puisqu’on a vite une belle vu sur saint foy l’argentiere et les prairies aux alentours. C’est sans doute l’un des cols les plus dur des mont du lyonnais !

By far my favourite climb in the Monts du Lyonnais. Particularly demanding, with some beautiful twists and turns, the 4km at 9％ is well worth the diversions.

De très loin ma montée préféré des monts du lyonnais. Particulièrement exigeante, avec de beaux lacets, les 4km à 9％ valent largement le détour.
