Very solid, steady climb up to Verbier. Traffic was honestly quite harsh and there's not much space on the road. After Verbier though almost completely car free. Here it remains steady but the incline robustly increases. It's not quite a big enough change to make a huge visual difference but the difference in effort is substantial. Last few kilometers the road quality declines somewhat but is still very serviceable. If the traffic obliges the descent back down to Le Chable can be truly rapid and very enjoyable.
This climb starts at the roundabout in Le Chable.
If you come from Martigny, you first have to ascend 350 altimeters over 20km.
The first part brings you to Verbier village and that track is really busy, but apparently there is an alternative track with hard gravel.
Once in Verbier, it is really beautiful, above you quickly in nature and the view is phenomenal and asphalt in very good condition. But: in winter, the snow is not cleared. If you want to continue, the other way down to La Tzoumaz, you have to go over gravel.
Worthwhile if you are there!
Deze beklimming begint aan het rondpunt in Le Chable.
Als je vanuit Martigny komt, moet je eerst nog 350hoogtemeters op, over 20km.
Het eerste deel brengt je naar Verbier-dorp en die baan is wel echt druk, maar er bestaat blijkbaar een alternatieve baan met harde gravel.
Eens in Verbier is het wel echt prachtig, erboven zit je snel in de natuur en het uizicht is fenomenaal en asfalt in zeer goeie staat. Maar: in de winter wordt de sneeuw niet geruimd. Als je door wilt, de andere kant naar beneden naar La Tzoumaz, dan moet je over gravel.
De moeite waard als je daar bent!
