This climb feels like an assault on your legs. In the beginning, the road surface is good and the gradient easy to do. After the drop La Masure the climb really starts to take shape. The altimeters fly by the ears because of the high percentage of steepness. The route is largely through the forest, so you cycle in the shade. The road surface varies a bit, from good to with cracks. Descending carefully is the motto for the entire stretch up to La Masure.
Before La Crôte you have a few hundred meters to catch your breath. The last part to La Crôte is hard work. After La Crôte it's another 2km of stumbling, but the view is beautiful! With a MTB it is possible to cycle even further up.

All in all a wonderful climb to cycle, a guarantee for burning legs when you arrive at the top.

At about 1.5km before the 'top' is for 5 to 10m unpaved road, caution is advised!

Deze beklimming voelt als een aanslag op je benen. In het begin is het wegdek goed en het steigingspercentage nog goed te doen. Na het drop La Masure begint de klim echt vorm te krijgen. De hoogtemeters vliegen je om de oren vanwege het hoge steigingspercentage. De route loopt hier grotendeels door het bos, dus je fietst in de schaduw. Het wegdek wisselt wat, van goed tot wegdek met veel scheuren erin. Voorzichtig afdalen is het devies voor het gehele stuk tot aan La Masure.
Voor La Crôte heb je een een paar honderd meter om op adem te komen. Het laatste stukje tot La Crôte is doorbijten. Na La Crôte is het nog 2km bikkelen, maar het uitzicht is prachtig! Met een MTB is het mogelijk om nog verder omhoog te fietsen.

Al met al een heerlijke beklimming om te fietsen, een garantie voor brandende benen als je boven komt.

Op ongeveer 1,5km voor de 'top' zit voor 5 à 10m onverhard wegdek, voorzichtigheid geboden!
