Narrow but little-travelled road. The first part of the route is in woodland and offers no respite. As you emerge from the undergrowth, there's an extremely steep section over a few hectometres that you're already well into. You get a great view as you emerge from the undergrowth. Then a short respite and normal slopes until the end.... read more

I'm only giving it 2 stars because it's not the kind of climb I enjoy. The percentage is much steeper than indicated: around 20% without going below that for a good 400/500m. The surface is average on this first part. On the other hand, it's very quiet and the scenery is beautiful.

Je ne mets que 2 étoiles car ce n’est pas le genre de montée que j’apprécie. Le pourcentage est beaucoup plus raide que e qui est indiqué : environ 20% sans descendre au dessous pendant bien 400/500m. Le revêtement est moyen sur cette première partie. Par contre c’est très calme et le paysage est beau.

The climb is short but steep, and when you reach the top you can enjoy the view of Le Pin and the surrounding area.

Montée plutôt courte mais raide,en arrivant au sommet vous pouvez profiter de la vue sur le Pin et ses alentours.

Route étroite mais peu fréquentée.
Première partie en forêt, qui n'offre pas de répit. A la sortie du sous-bois, portion extrêmement raide sur quelques hectomètres que l'on aborde déjà bien entamé.
Très belle vue en émergeant du sous-bois.
Ensuite court répit et pentes normales jusqu'à la fin.
