Ridden early in the dark. It starts out so insanely steep. It is actually a shortcut through a residential area. As a result, you don't encounter much traffic. You get no rest anywhere and it's raking until you reach the top.
Every now and then you have a view over the valley where Martigny is located. At the top is some catering and a toilet. You are also close to France here.
The climb is one that looks a bit Ardennes-like because you climb through a neighbourhood towards a forest. The tarmac is much better though, and it takes a very long time!
Vroeg in het donker gereden. Het begint zo waanzinnig steil. Het is eigenlijk een sluiproute door een woonwijk. Daardoor kom je weinig verkeer tegen. Je krijgt nergens rust en het is harken tot je op de top bent.
Zo nu en dan heb je uitzicht over het dal waar Martigny in ligt. Aan de top zit wat horeca en een toilet. Je bent hier tevens in de buurt van Frankrijk.
De klim is er eentje die wat Ardennen-achtig aandoet omdat je door een wijk richting een bos klimt. Het asfalt is wel vele malen beter, en het duurt erg lang!
