The climb is very nice. Very scenic, and very few cars. The descent to Daluis, however is very narrow and very gravelly. That’s not the worst bit of the descent. During wet weather, this descent is closed to traffic. In rash places streams flow across the road, and much of the road is over shadowed by large cliffs. Presumably when it rains boulders wash out of the cliff into the road, because there are quite a few in the road. Therefore my advice is to consider this a dead end road, and go bac... read more

Presumably when it rains boulders wash out of the cliff into the road, because there are quite a few in the road. Therefore my advice is to consider this a dead end road, and go back down the ascent. In this case it’s a very nice secluded climb.

The climb starts at a suspension bridge. To get there, you first have to climb a bit Puget Theniers.
It is an even climb in beautiful surroundings. Very quiet, I didn't encounter any traffic there.
If you want to drive on and descend to the Var river, I highly advise against it. The road turns into a path with boulders. The 'no driving when raining' sign perhaps says it all.

De klim begint bij een hangbrug. Om daar te komen moet je eerst een stukje klimmen moet Puget Theniers.
Het is een gelijkmatige klim in een schitterende omgeving. Erg rustig, ik ben er geen verkeer tegengekomen.
Als je door wilt rijden en af wil dalen naar de rivier de Var, raad ik dat erg af. De weg gaat over in een pad met keien. Het bord ‘verboden in te rijden bij regen’, zegt misschien we genoeg.
