After climbing to Le Fayet via the seven routes offered by Climbfinder, I'm going to try and rank them in order of interest.
The least interesting is the route starting from Le Mas, which is not without its charm but lacks sportiness.
Then there are the three alternatives via Savas, which are also not without charm, but too much traffic on such small roads with too many gravel sections.
The climb from Boulieu lès Annonay could be much better, but it's always exposed to the sun, and there's nowhere in the shade - it's hell in summer.
The Félines route is great but a bit too short.
My preference is for the ascent from Bouticon, which is taken by the Ardéchoise, far from being really difficult but very pleasant to climb.
In any case, you discover the beauty of the landscape as you climb, as there are no magnificent panoramic views from the summit.
Après être monté au Fayet par les sept voies proposées par Climbfinder, je vais essayer de les classer par ordre d'intérêt.
La moins intéressante étant celle qui débute depuis Le Mas, pas dénuée de charme mais manque de sportivité.
Vienne ensuite les trois alternatives qui passent par Savas, idem elles ne manquent pas de charme mais trop de trafic sur de si petites routes avec trop de portions en gravier.
La montée au départ de Boulieu lès Annonay pourrait être bien mieux mais elle se trouve toujours exposée au soleil, pas un endroit a l'ombre, un véritable enfer l'été.
La voie de Félines est super mais un peu trop courte.
Ma préférence va donc a la montée depuis Bouticon, elle est empruntée par l'Ardéchoise, loin d'être vraiment difficile mais très agréable a parcourir.
Dans tout les cas la beauté du paysage se découvre au grès des ascensions, car pas de magnifique panorama a la cime.
