The classic route back from Trièves to Monestier. The climb is divided into three distinct sections: the first consists of hairpin bends with steep gradients as you climb out of the Ebron valley, followed by gentler gradients as you approach Roissard. The final stretch is a little steeper but remains rideable all the way to the Col de Fau. The climb can prove challenging when it’s windy, which is quite common.... read more

L'itinéraire classique de retour du Trièves vers Monestier. La montée est découpée en trois portions distinctes, la première en lacets avec des pentes soutenues pour s'extirper du vallon de l'Ebron, puis des pentes plus douces en s'approchant de Roissard. Le final est un peu plus pentu mais reste roulant jusqu'au col de Fau. La montée peut s'avérer compliquée quand le vent est présent, ce qui est assez fréquent.

After starting above the turquoise waters of the Ebron, this climb offers beautiful views of the Trièves and Mont Aiguille.
A much more pleasant route than the D1075 a little further west to tour the Trièves.
No major difficulties, apart from slightly higher gradients for the first two km.

Après un départ au-dessus des eaux Turquoises de l'Ebron, cette montée offre de belles vues sur le Trièves et le Mont Aiguille.
Itinéraire beaucoup plus agréable que la D1075 un peu plus à l'ouest pour faire le tour du Trièves.
Pas de grosse difficulté, à part des pourcentages un peu plus élevés pendant les deux premiers km.
