disappointing climb on wide main road with no views (until you are past the dam wall at the top). good tarmac. harder first few kms. the hairpins to the dam are ok. col de l’iseran from lanslebourg is so much better…

First climb is great, little (no) traffic, beautiful scenery and views. First part of the 2nd climb a bit less (lots of traffic) followed by climb to a dam. Finishing with views over the reservoir

Very nice climb with virtually no traffic until after the village of Moncenisio, stretch from Novalesa to Moncenisio, very hard and fun with peaks of 18％, then last stretch to the lake, nice but busy road

Salita molto bella e praticamente senza traffico fino a dopo al paesino di Moncenisio, tratto da Novalesa fino a Moncenisio, molto duro e divertente con punte del 18％, poi ultimo tratto verso il lago strada ambia ma trafficata

La salita da Novalesa a Moncenisio è molto bella ma le pendenze sono impegnative. In diversi tratti supera abbondantemente il 12％ con punta massima al 15％. Zero traffico, bel paesaggio e tanta fatica. Per aggiungere un po' di pepe e di quiete alla classica salita del Colle del Moncenisio.
