Very progressive. Good surface. Ideal for getting back into shape! The descent on the Chézery side is very pretty.
Col roulant. Très progressif. Bon revêtement. Idéal pour se remettre en forme ! La descente côté Chézery est très jolie.
nice climb , fairly easy, road is in good condition.
climbing if you come from Valserhone is about 15km... but not steep.
views from the top are nice.
Done it in the summer. Beautiful paved road to a small ski village. Extinct in summer, so a very quiet, wide road that meanders nicely up through the forest. It doesn't get very steep but it is constantly between 6 and 8％ for about 7 km. At the top, the forest opens and you enter the small village. On the other side (so not from Confort) is a long descent, again through the forest and again nice and quiet.
In de zomer gedaan. Mooi geasfalteerde weg naar een klein skidorpje. Zomers uitgestorven en dus een heel rustige, brede weg die mooi door het bos naar boven meandert. Heel stijl wordt het niet maar wel heel constant tussen de 6 en 8％ gedurende 7 km ongeveer. Bovenaan opent het bos en kom je het kleine dorpje binnenrijden. Aan de andere kant (dus niet vanuit Confort) is een lange afdaling, weer door het bos en weer lekker rustig.
