The road is in good condition, although the last 500 metres are difficult to ride, but if you take it easy, even on a road bike, you'll have no trouble at all. Very pleasant climb

Route en bon état cependant les 500 derniers mètre sont difficilement praticables mais en roulant doucement même en vélo de route, ça passe sans problème. Monté très agréable

However, we were very disappointed after Grand Champ, where the road was dirty and turned into a track, making it impossible to reach the summit on the bike. Only mountain bikes and gravel bikes will get through the last 500 metres.

Deux alternatives pour monter "La Dent",
Une venant de Beauzac et l'autre de Sommières avec une partie en commun.
Les sections qu'elles ne se partagent pas sont vraiment sympa à monter avec des vues absolument magnifiques tout du long.
La redescente sur Beauzac est vraiment super, l'asphalte correct, peu de circulation, on peu vraiment prendre de la vitesse et s'amuser.
En revanche grosse déception après "Grand Champ", la route est sale et se transforme en chemin ne nous permettant pas d'arriver au sommet sur le vélo. Seuls les vtt et gravel passeront les 500 derniers mètres.
