climbed this Saturday. Good news. The 100 m section that was in poor condition has been renovated. As a result, there are a few cars, but overall, the road is very quiet... but still just as steep! (:-)... read more

gravi ce samedi. Bonne nouvelle. La section de 100 m en mauvais état a été rénovée. Du coup, il y a quelques voitures mais globalement, la route est très calme... mais toujours aussi raide ! (:-)

A steep and pleasant climb! Once you have left the D415 at the exit of Plainfaing (350 m), you take a road that goes up along a stream (the Barançon). The road runs alongside a few isolated houses, then the slope gradually rises until it becomes quite steep! You're on your own for a good 2 km of really steep climbing. 500 m from the summit, the road gives way for 100 m to a slightly stony but passable path (beware of punctures though!). The maximum gradient of 16% is real!

Montée raide et agréable ! Une fois la D415 quittée à la sortie de Plainfaing (350 m), on s'engage sur une route qui remonte le long d'un ruisseau (le Barançon). La route longe encore quelques maisons isolées puis la pente s'élève peu à peu jusqu'à devenir bien raide ! On est alors seul pour gravir 2 bon kms vraiment raides. A 500 m du sommet, la route fait place sur 100 m à un chemin un peu caillouteux mais praticable (attention la crevaison tout de même ! La pente maximale de 16% est bien réelle !
