A classic for local cyclists, I sometimes do it several times a year and despite its short length it is not to be taken lightly as there are some significant gradients.
This road allows you to join the Beaufort road at the exit of Queige, a pass climbed by the Tour de France riders in 2016.
View on the valley linking Albertville to Ugine and on the Massif des Bauges on the other side of the road.

Un classique pour les cyclistes du coin, je le fait parfois plusieurs fois par an et malgré sa faible longueur il ne faut pas le prendre à la légère car ils y a des pourcentages non négligeables.
Cette route permet de rejoindre celle de Beaufort à la sortie de Queige, col monté par les coureurs du Tour de France en 2016.
Vue sur la vallée reliant Albertville à Ugine et sur le Massif des Bauges de l'autre coté de la voie rapide.
