Not crowded, punchy climb. The last kilometre is gravel, but is no problem for a course bike with 25mm. I recommend it.
Niet druk, pittig klimmetje. De laatste kilometer is gravel, maar is voor een koersfiets met 25mm geen probleem. Ik raad het aan.
Nice climb, but it's all steep all the time! Small road, little traffic and a magnificent view of the Rhône plain. 1.5/2 kilometres of gravel at the end, but I got through without any problems on the road bike.
Jolie montée, tous le temps dans le raide par contre! Petite route, peu de circulation et une vue magnifique sur la plaine du Rhône. 1,5/2 kilomètres à la fin en "gravel" mais je suis passé sans soucis avec le vélo de route.
