A fairly long not too steep but beautiful climb. You cross the small bridge and then immediately start climbing. A nice big hairpin turn soon follows. Sometimes you have great views but there is also a relatively straight boring section. In short, this climb is definitely worth the drive.... read more

A pleasant climb on a road in very good condition, with some traffic but a wide verge.

Montée agréable sur une route en très bonne état, il y a de la circulation mais le bas côté est large.

The whole route is fantastic. New surface, super flat. Great views. Watch out for the goats. The stretch after the climb to St Martin is like a roller coaster :-)

Die gesamte Strecke ist fantastisch. Neuer Belag, super eben. Grossartige Ausblicke. Auf die Ziegen achten. Die Strecke nach dem Anstieg weiter nach St Martin ist wie Roller coaster :-)

Super fine climb. Ridden by car earlier in the holiday, later by bike. Turn right at the top and return via Pont d'Arc.

Super round trip!

Super fijne klim. Eerder in de vakantie al met de auto gereden, later nog met de fiets. Bovenop rechts afslaan en via Pont d'Arc weer terug.

Super rondje!

I did this climb three times when I was staying in Vallon Pont-d'Arc. The first time I did it, I realised that this could be an ideal climb for doing an FTP test. It takes a good 20 minutes at full throttle and is nice and even. There are two steeper sections. The traffic is not too bad, as I always did the climb in the morning.

Een redelijk lange niet al te steile maar wel prachtige klim. Je gaat het bruggetje over en dan begin je meteen te klimmen. Er volgt snel een mooie grote haarspeldbocht. Soms heb je een prachtig uitzicht maar er is ook een relatief recht saai stuk. Kortom deze klim is zeker de moeite waard om er naar toe te rijden.
