In 2022, the road will be resurfaced, the whole stretch from La Motte-Chalancon to past Col de Portail. The road surface is fine, but there is (still) a lot of gravel in the curves.
The climb is very steady and never really hard. Until Chalancon, you have a view on the impressive rocks against which Chalancon seems to be glued. After the hamlet, you go through a narrow gorge and enter an open valley, as if you are suddenly on a completely different road.
In 2022 is de weg met nieuw geasfalteerd, het hele stuk van La Motte-Chalancon tot voorbij Col de Portail. Het wegdek is dus prima, maar er ligt (nog) wel veel steenslag in de bochten.
De klim is heel regelmatig en nergens echt zwaar. Tot Chalancon kijk je uit op indrukwekkende rotsen waar Chalancon tegenaan geplakt lijkt. Na het gehucht ga je door een smalle kloof en kom je in een open vallei, alsof je ineens op een heel andere weg zit.
