Hard, easy and hard climb..road under construction so no traffic at the start...
For me, as a beginner, the 10% are lethal...but I managed it without putting my feet down

Montee dure, facile et redure..route en travaux donc pas de circulation au debut..
Pour moi debutant les 10% sont mortels...mais reussi sans poser pieds a terre

Beautiful climb. Very long, it helps if you divide it into pieces. Until after Gryon it is steep, sometimes very steep. After that, it's offside until Villars, after which it goes up to double digits again. Then a few kilometres flat (or let it be 1%) and you have to work hard for the last 4 kilometres before this rascal gives in. Once on top of the climb, you see... nothing. A gravel parking lot with a small coffee shop that is closed most of the day. I found it a nice col, but just a bit too long for fun. Nice and varied climbing.

Prachtige klim. Wel heel lang, het helpt als je hem in stukjes opdeelt. Tot na Gryon is het steil, soms heel erg steil. Daarna is het tot Villars buitenblad, waarna het weer de dubbele stijgingscijfers in gaat. Dan komt er een paar kilometer vlak (of laat het 1% zijn) en mag je de laatste 4 kilometer nog even flink ploeteren voordat deze rakker zich gewonnen geeft. Eenmaal boven op de col zie je... niets. Een grindparkeerplaats met een klein koffietentje dat het grootste gedeelte van de dag dicht is. Ik vond het een mooie col, maar net iets te lang voor de leuk. Wel lekker afwisselend klimmen.
