Climbed 2 July 2021. Beautiful climb with indeed a somewhat tricky last km. Beautiful views and often good weather. Lovely cycling. Highly recommended.
Beklommen 2 juli 2021. Mooie klim met inderdaad een wat lastige laatste km. Mooie uitzichten en vaal goed weer. Heerlijk fietsen. Aanrader.
Nice climb, nice and quiet and nice surroundings. Where the valley is narrowest it gets a bit steeper for a while, but only the last 500m is really steep. Unfortunately, that was resurfaced in autumn 2023 with a few centimetres of crushed stone. So standing on the pedals that last bit doesn't work: your rear wheel will slip. So sit down and keep going.
The descent on the other side is a very wide open valley and with the low percentages you can descend and look around.
Fijne beklimming, lekker rustig en leuke omgeving. Waar het dal het smalst is wordt het even wat steiler, maar alleen de laatste 500m is echt steil. Helaas is dat in het najaar van 2023 opnieuw geasfalteerd waarbij er een paar centimeter steenslag op gestort is. Dus dat laatste stukje even op de pedalen gaan staan werkt niet: je achterwiel slipt door. Even zittend doorbijten dus.
De afdaling aan de andere kant is een heel wijds open dal en met de lage percentages kan je lekker afdalen en rondkijken.
Nice climb to ride. Percentages are between three and four per cent. However, the devil is in the tail. Beautiful scenery and very quiet.
Leuke beklimming om te rijden. Percentages zitten tussen de drie en vier procent. Het venijn zit echter in de staart. Een prachtige omgeving en erg rustig.
Beautiful surroundings and the climb is easy to do. The Drôme Provencale is anyway a beautiful area to cycle.
Prachtige omgeving en de beklimming is goed te doen. De Drôme Provencale is sowieso een mooi gebied in te fietsen.
