This side of the col du Télégraph is a lot shorter and easier than the Maurienne valley side.
A little push on the pedals as you leave Valloire, before cycling false flat via gently turning wide road to the summit plateau with catering facilities and the famous straw bike sculpture.
There is busy traffic at times, though.
If you have crawled up the Galibier before, this feels like "flat"!

Deze kant van de col du Télégraph is een pak korter en gemakkelijker dan de Maurienne dal zijde.
Even op de trappers duwen bij het verlaten van Valloire, om dan vals plat via licht draaiende brede weg naar het top plateau met horeca en het bekende strooien fietsbeeld te fietsen.
Er is soms wel druk verkeer.
Als je voordien de Galibier hebt opgekropen voelt dit als "vlak" aan!

A short, rolling climb on a wide, busy road. This is the only way to get back down to the Maurienne from Valloire, but it is the only way to get there.

Montée courte et roulante sur une route large et fréquentée. C'est la seule façon de redescendre en Maurienne à partir de Valloire, mais c'est bien son seul intérêt.

Short climb that only hurts when you have just climbed the Galibier. Has nothing special to offer.

Korte klim die alleen pijn doet wanneer je net de galibier beklommen hebt. Heeft niets speciaal te bieden.
