A fun climb out of Queige - steep but quiet roads with plenty of shade from the afternoon sun. The town of Queige has a library and an innovative water feature.
My very first pass after I moved from Bourges to Albertville, at the time I didn't really have the gearing adapted to the mountains and the high gradients and I found it horribly hard and even put my feet down at the hardest part.
Today I'm 23 years older but I've become more experienced and it's getting better.
To come back to the pass, it is short but still quite difficult at the top, you can switch to Ugine in a fast descent, but you have to be careful.
Mon tout premier col après mon déménagement de Bourges à Albertville, à l'époque je n'avais pas vraiment les braquets adaptés à la montagne et aux forts pourcentages et je l'avais trouvé horriblement dur et même mis pieds à terre au passage le plus rude.
Aujourd'hui j'ai pourtant 23 ans de plus mais depuis je me suis aguerri te ça va mieux.
Pour en revenir au col, il est court mais quand même assez difficile au sommet on peu basculer sur Ugine dans une descente rapide en restant prudent.
Done before Arpettaz. Not really difficult, not very long pass from Queige. The road is correct.
Fait avant l'Arpettaz. Pas vraiment de difficultés, col pas très long depuis Queige. La route est correcte.
Nice warm-up for when you want to do longer cols, gradual climb where you are quickly at the top. Perfect road surface with little traffic.
Mooie opwarmer voor als je langere cols wil gaan doen, geleidelijke klim waar je snel boven bent. Perfect wegdek met weinig verkeer.
