Nice long even climb where villages alternate with stretches of emptiness and forest. The climb is good to do as it remains even in terms of steepness percentage. Asphalt is reasonable but could definitely use a new layer. It is highly recommended to look to the right just after the descent, in good weather you have a nice view of the Aravis mountains.
Be careful if you cycle here in the low season and want to have lunch/pause in the ski village of Saises. I rode here in late May (on weekends) and all the restaurants were closed and the Spar was open on a limited basis even though Google led you to believe otherwise.
Mooie lange gelijkmatige klim waar dorpjes afwisselen met stukken leegte en bos. De klim is goed te doen doordat deze gelijkmatig blijft qua stijlte percentage. Asfalt is redelijk maar mag zeker een nieuw laagje overheen. Het is een aanrader om net na de afdaling naar rechts te kijken, bij goed weer heb je mooi zicht op het Aravis gebergte.
Let wel op als je in het laag seizoen hier fietst en in het skidorp Saises wilt lunchen/pauze houden. Ik reed hier eind mei (in het weekend) en alle restaurantjes waren gesloten en de Spar was beperkt open terwijl Google je anders deed geloven.
Fine not too difficult climb. Climb ridden on 19/7/23. Neatly dropped off for the Tour that would pass by later. Lovely and quiet with crowds along the side. Not too long and not too steep. In short enjoyed the views and cheers!
Fijne niet al te lastige klim. Klim gereden op 19/7/23. Netjes afgezet voor de Tour die later langs zou komen. Heerlijk rustig met publiek langs de kant. Niet te lang en niet te steil. Kortom genieten van het uitzicht en de aanmoedigingen!
Done after the Forclaz and the Arpettaz. I found this pass to be endless, no juice at all. The many flats and descents allow you to recover a little. The road is very busy and I find that this slope is not very beautiful. The climb from Beaufort via Hauteluce is much more attractive.
Fait après la Forclaz et l'Arpettaz. J'ai trouvé ce col interminable plus de jus du tout. Les nombreux replats et descentes permettent de récupérer un peu. La route est très fréquentée et je trouve que ce versant n'est pas très beau. La montée depuis Beaufort par Hauteluce est quand même bien plus attrayante.
We came from Lainslebourg, beautiful camping and volbepäckt over the Iseran(2700m) and more than 2000m down Bourg St Maurice at the camping, all alone with two. From Bourg the Roselend behind a Prof so far he would have enough and gaz gave. Very beautiful Col, the Lac but very troublesome, so much more fun dan d'Huez and Saissies was less difficult until Sallaches at the camping with a small lake and swimming pool. Only de Joux Plane still, 8,5％ averaged and schillen in Morzine with the best Irish coffee ever, also the mountain hut was on to command, lovely crêpes Savoyard..the last 1000km to Hollande was always down past the Swiss border....
Wir kamen von Lainslebourg, schönen camping und volbepäckt uber der Iseran(2700m) und mehr als 2000m nach unten Bourg St Maurice am Camping, ganz allein mit zwei. Von Bourg die Roselend hinter ein Prof bisher er genug hätte und gaz gab.. Sehr schönen Col, das Lac aber sehr rühig, soviel mehr Spass dan d'Huez und Saissies war minder schwierig bis Sallaches am Camping mit ein kleines See und Swimmingpool. Nur de Joux Plane noch, 8,5％ gemittelt und schillen in Morzine mit der besten Irish coffee ever, auch die Berghütte war an zu befehlen, herrlichen Crêpes Savoyard..die letzten 1000km nach Hollande war immer nach unten vorbei die Schweize grenze..
I rode the climb from Ugine via the Balcons d'Arly and Crest-Voland. An absolute must if you want to climb hard. The Garmin indicated continuously between 8 and 12% and that you feel. Along the way beautiful views of the Gorges d'Arly. The ski village at the top offers sufficient apple pie possibilities.
De klim gereden vanaf Ugine via de Balcons d'Arly en Crest-Voland. Een absolute aanrader als de hard wilt klimmen. De Garmin gaf continu tussen de 8 en 12 % aan en dat ga je voelen. Onderweg prachtige uitzichten op de Gorges d'Arly. Het skidorp op de top biedt voldoende appeltaartmogelijkheden.
Nice climb, pity that the last km poles are no longer there. The road surface is 70% okay, the rest needs improvement, without being dangerous. Little traffic.
Leuke klim, jammer dat de laatste km paaltjes er niet meer staan. Het wegdek is voor 70% okee, de rest is aan verbetering toe, overigens zonder dat het gevaarlijk wordt. Weinig verkeer.
