Unparalleled climb that is beautiful almost everywhere, you cycle between cliffs everywhere, sometimes was narrower, sometimes wider. The only real drawback is the traffic. If at all possible, catch this one in the early morning and you won't regret it.
Weergaloze klim die bijna overal mooi is, je fiets overal tussen de kliffen, soms was smaller, soms wat breder. Het enige echte nadeel is het verkeer. Als het even kan, pak deze in de vroege ochtend en je krijgt er geen spijt van.
A long and beautiful climb with the very picturesque little town of Pont-en-Royans at the start and the majestic Bourne gorges all the way.
Not recommended for those prone to vertigo, although the most vertiginous passage is now "cut off" by a tunnel at the place called "d'Arbois", shortly before reaching La Balme-de-Rencurel. Nevertheless, the old road can be reached on foot and the panorama is breathtaking.
The only negative point of this ascent is the traffic, often important. It is indeed the main entrance to the Vercors on this side of the massif. To be avoided during rush hour or during the tourist season.
Longue et magnifique montée avec la très pittoresque petite ville de Pont-en-Royans à son début et les majestueuses gorges de la Bourne tout du long.
Fortement déconseillée aux personnes sujettes au vertige, bien que le passage le plus vertigineux soit maintenant «coupé» par un tunnel au lieu dit « d'Arbois », peu avant d'arriver à La Balme-de-Rencurel. On peut néanmoins accéder à l'ancienne portion de route à pied et profiter d'un panorama époustouflant.
Le seul point négatif de cette montée est le trafic, souvent important. Il s'agit en effet de la principale voie d'entrée du Vercors de ce côté du massif. À éviter aux heures de pointe ou en période fortement touristique.
