The short easy side of the Col du Pre climbed in June 2023.
A more beautiful start to a climb is hard to imagine.
You start by cycling over the 800m dam with to your left the green-blue Lac de Roselend created by the barrage surrounded by pure mountain nature in all its facets and with snow-capped peaks on the horizon.
Through 5 hairpin bends, it goes between the green alpine meadows, with the famous Beaufort cows, up the mountainside to the highest geographical point (1735m) before descending gently to the parking lot without catering facilities for hikers with the place sign of the Col du Pré (1703m).
There was hardly any traffic on the fine road surface.
Short climb with fantastic overhead views of Lac de Roselend and all the natural beauty around it.
Pedal and enjoy!
De korte gemakkelijke zijde van de Col du Pré beklommen in juni 2023.
Een mooier begin van een beklimming is moeilijk denkbaar.
Je start met het over fietsen van de 800 m. lange stuwdam met links van jou het door de barrage gecreëerde groenblauwe Lac de Roselend omgeven door puur bergnatuur in al zijn facetten en met besneeuwde bergtoppen aan de horizon.
Via 5 haarspeldbochten gaat het tussen de groene alpenweides, met de gekende Beaufort koeien, de bergflank op naar het hoogste geografisch punt (1735m) om nadien zacht te dalen tot de parking zonder horeca voor wandelaars met het plaatsbord van de Col du Pré (1703 m).
Er was amper verkeer op het prima wegdek.
Korte klim met fantastisch bovenaanzicht op het Roselend stuwmeer en alle natuurpracht er omheen.
Trappen en genieten!
The Col du Pré is more popular on the Arêches side, but on the way down from Roselend, why not take advantage of this side, which is very short but has a very steep part in the middle.
The road winds through the Alpine pastures with magnificent views over the Roselend dam and the lake of the same name.
Le col du Pré est plus prisé par son versant coté Arêches, mais en redescendant de Roselend pourquoi ne pas en profiter pour faire ce versant, très court mais avec une partie très pentue en son milieu.
Route qui serpente entre les Alpages et avec des magnifiques vues plongeantes sur le barrage de Roselend et le lac du même nom.
Slope to climb for the less brave, personally I'm used to going down this side after climbing the other slope (which for the time being is a real challenge!) and I try to beat my top speed in the 10％ part!
Versant à gravir pour les moins courageux, personnellement j'ai l'habitude de descendre de ce côté après l'ascension de l'autre versant (qui pour le coup est un vrai challenge!) et j'essaye de battre ma vitesse max dans la partie à 10％ !
