Ascent 5/2/2021. Nice climb from Fréjus. Before arriving at the Col du Testanier we arrive on the Col de l'Auriasque. Winter/spring DN7 is quiet and in good condition. A detour to climb the Mont Vinaigre is recommended for climbers.... read more

A very nice, steady climb. The good condition of the road makes this a very smooth climb.

Nice gradual climb. Good tarmac and nice views. Good to do from Frejus. The road is not very busy, but the traffic that is there often drives fast.

Mooie geleidelijke klim. Goed asfalt en mooi uitzicht. Goed te doen vanuit Frejus. De weg is niet heel druk, maar het verkeer wat er is rijd vaak wel hard.

I found this a wonderful climb. Good road surface, great views and not too steep. Really worth it! Just don't do this like me at 35 degrees because you don't have a metre of shade here this made it very unpleasant

Ik vond dit een prachtige klim. Goed wegdek, prachtig uitzicht en niet te stijl. Echt de moeite waard! Alleen doe dit niet zoals mij bij 35 graden want je hebt hier geen meter schaduw dit maakte het heel vervelend

Superb road for cycling! Nice route towards Mandelieu, then back along the coast.
Be careful on this road, as motorcyclists tend to take the inside turns, which is not always good for your heart....

Schitterende weg om te fietsen! Mooie route richting Mandelieu, vervolgens langs de kust weer terug gegaan.
Pas op deze weg wel op, motorrijders pakken nog wel eens de binnenbochten en dat is niet altijd even goed voor je hart....

Lovely runner, really a fine climb in the region with a slightly disappointing ending (the summit is not a summit ;-))

Heerlijke loper, echt een fijne klim in de regio met een enigszins teleurstellend einde (de top is geen top ;-))
