nice climb on great road surface. steeper after Massat, and very narrow, but nothing more than 10％. no shade a huge issue today because it was so hot (30C) but last 4km in shade (except at very top). no views at top.

The part of the Pyrenees where you can still cycle in peace.
Up to Mosset you might even encounter a car, behind this village you are alone in the world and can enjoy the climb in peace. Nowhere really steep but a nice runner of a good 20 km.
Het gedeelte van de Pyreneeën waar je nog in alle rust kunt fietsen.
Tot aan Mosset kun je nog eens een auto tegenkomen, achter dit dorpje ben je alleen op de wereld en kun je in alle rust genieten van de klim. Nergens echt steil maar een lekkere loper van een dikke 20 km.
Beautiful climb with changing scenery as you go up. You need to do a climb that doesn't get too tough from the start, as it can get complicated over time. Do it for the peace and quiet, the scenery and the very pleasant route (avoid late autumn and winter unless the weather is very good).
Belle montée avec des paysages changeant au fur et à mesure de l'élévation. Il faut faire une montée sans rentrer dans le dur dés le départ car sur la durée cela peut devenir compliqué. A faire pour le calme, les paysage et la route très agréable.(éviter en fin d'automne et hivers sauf très beau temps).
Superb ascent, the view on the village of Mosset is splendid. The slope becomes rougher and without respite from km 14 onwards. Relatively regular ascent with some passages at 9-10％. The passage in the laces allows to admire the valley. You have to be careful when arriving in Mosset, narrow road and impatient motorists.

Le passage dans les lacets permet d’admirer la vallée. Il faut bien faire attention lors de l’arrivée à Mosset, route étroite et automobilistes impatients.
