A nice, tough climb just the way we like it. Quite steady and demanding, with a steep last kilometre before Sommand. Once you reach Sommand, enjoy the scenery, you've done the hardest part. The last 3 kilometres to the pass are much cooler.
Une belle montée bien costaud comme on aime. Plutôt régulière et exigeante avec un gros dernier kilomètre avant Sommand bien raide. Une fois arrivé à Sommand, profitez du paysage, vous avez fait le plus dur. Les 3 derniers kilomètres jusqu'au col sont bien plus cool.
What can I say? This one is tough. The initial salvo out of Mieussy gets the legs warmed up, but this climb has a lot of exposure to the south - it can get very hot on this climb, best to tackle it early in the day if you can. The steepest portion is under the avalanche shelters, where the grade pips from 10 to 12 percent as the shade provides little in the way of comfort. Once you emerge into the ski station area things get easier for a spell before a last push to the top of the col. The scenery on this climb is stunning and worth the suffering to get to the goods. Be sure to hydrate and eat well before the climb and to have your bidons topped off before you start. This was the fourth categorized climb of the 2023 Etape du Tour.
Beautiful climb. Real alpine climb. A runner. A little over halfway there is a tough section, but arriving at the ski village of Sommand 4km from the end you've had the worst of it. Lots of nice open plains, especially on top
Mooie klim. Echte alpenklim. Een loper. Iets over de helft zit een zwaar stuk, maar aangekom bij het skidorp Sommand op 4km van het einde heb je het ergste gehad. Veel mooie open vlaktes, vooral bovenop
Painful because of its length and because of that terribly steep part after you are already very tired. But a very nice climb, one and all enjoyment when you look around you, that plateau above, you come from a barren rocky tunnel road suddenly in a mountain bowl full of flowers and wooden houses and pure beauty. You almost forget that the road still rises considerably the last few kilometers.
Pijnlijk door zijn lengte en door dat vreselijk steile stuk nadat je al erg vermoeid bent. Wel een heel mooie klim, een en al genieten als je om je heen kijkt, dat plateau boven ook, je komt vanuit een kale rotsige tunnelige weg ineens in een bergkom vol bloemen en houten huisjes en pure mooiheid. Je vergeet bijna dat de weg nog flink stijgt de laatste paar kilometer.
I did this climb twice, once during the operation "route fermée" with a snack at the top.
Super nice, especially since the weather was good.
J'ai fait cette montée à 2 reprises dont une fois lors de l'opération "route fermée" avec collation au sommet.
Super sympa d'autant que la météo était au RDV.
