Beautiful and a simultaneously monotonous, not too difficult climb with constant views of the Verdon valley. If you already have some kilometres in your legs, there seems to be no end to the climb. The tarmac road is in good shape, though. There is nothing to do at the summit outside a (then) closed restaurant and a (also closed) ski equipment shop. You can only take a break during the descent in Le Fugeret. Incidentally, a fast side-stage descent through the Vaïre valley, with a nice view of Méailles against the mountainside on the other side of the valley.
Mooie en een tegelijkertijd eentonige, niet al te moeilijke klim met steeds zicht op de vallei van de Verdon. Als je al wat kilometers in de benen hebt lijkt er geen eind aan de klim te komen. De geasfalteerde weg ligt er wel goed bij. Op de top is niets te beleven buiten een (toen) gesloten restaurant en een (ook gesloten) skimateriaalzaak. Ravitailleren kan je pas tijdens de afdaling in Le Fugeret. Overigens een snelle bijtrapafdaling door de vallei van de Vaïre, met een mooi zicht op Méailles tegen de bergwand aan de andere kant van de vallei.
