Tough, leg burner as there is no let up from the 10％ until the top. Fun though and a good challenge in the area.... read more

A gruelling climb that should not be underestimated. The gradient remains constant at 10–11 per cent throughout the first half, making this ascent a real test, especially if tackled straight after the Mont Poupet climb. The vast majority of this climb is exposed to the sun, which can make it more difficult to pace yourself. It featured in the 2025 Tour de France, on Stage 19 from Nantua to Pontarlier, which was won by Kaden Groves. It was the Australian Harrison Sweeny who crossed the summit of this climb in the lead.

Une sacrée côte à ne pas sous estimer. Le pourcentage est constant à 10/11％ sur toute la première moitié, rendant cette ascension éprouvante, surtout si elle elle faite juste après celle du Mont Poupet. Cette côte est exposée au soleil dans son immense majorité, ce qui peut complexifier la gestion de son effort. Elle a été empruntée par le Tour de France 2025, sur l'étape 19 Nantua - Pontarlier, remportée par Kaden Groves. C'est l'australien Harrison Sweeny qui a franchi cette difficulté en tête.

Besides Mont Poupet and the climb to the fort above Salins les Bains, this is the climb that has stayed with me most in this region. You don't get a moment's rest, the percentages stay around 10 per cent throughout the climb

Naast de Mont Poupet en de klim naar het fort boven Salins les Bains, is dit de beklimming die mij in deze streek het meeste is bijgebleven. Je krijgt geen moment rust, de percentages blijven de hele klim lang rond de 10 procent
