For Belesta started the climb. The first few kilometres flat to gently uphill. The last four kilometres the climbing really starts. The last two can be called downright steep and tough.

Voor Belesta begonnen aan de klim. De eerste kilometers vlak tot rustig omhoog. De laatste vier kilometers begint het klimmen echt. De laatste twee zijn ronduit stijl en zwaar te noemen.

Nice climb with a punchy finish, make sure you have some left in the last km. It can be ridden well in combination with the cote d'olmes.

Mooie klim met een pittig slot, zorg dat je de laatste km nog wat over hebt. Deze kan goed in combinatie met de cote d’olmes gereden worden.

Beautiful climb, which was quite tough for me as a novice cyclist at the time, with the ruins of Montségur castle at the top.

Mooie klim, die voor mij toen nog best pittig was als beginnende fietser, met aan de top de ruïnes van kasteel Montségur.

Lovely climb, good tarmac. Can also be climbed from the other side, then a bit steeper but also shorter. At the end of this climb, the last three kilometers, percentages of 8-12 %.

Heerlijke klim, prima asfalt. Ook te beklimmen vanaf de andere kant, dan iets steiler maar ook korter. Aan het einde van deze klim, de laatste drie kilometer, percentages van 8-12 %.
