It's a long climb that's not really very hard, but it's tiring and tiring. Very little traffic during the climb.

Une montée longue et pas foncièrement très dure mais fatiguante et usante. Très peu de circulation lors de cette dernière.

A very nice climb, the first 200m or so of which are quite steep (12％, although it doesn't show on the graph). You pass through some small villages and can see the roite on the other side. This is the route of the AlpsMan triathlon. The road is not excellent, but suitable for road bikes.

Une bien belle ascension, dont les quelques premiers 200m sont assez pentu (12％, même si ça n’apparaît pas sur le graphique). On passe par des petit village et l’on peut apercevoir la roite sur l’autre versant. C’est le parcours du triathlon AlpsMan. La route n’est pas excellent mais convenable pour des vélos de route.
