A stunning climb that has you looking at the scenery rather than the road all the way up. Not too punishing if you can find a nice rhythm and the promise of a coffee at the top keeps the motivation going. Fairly light traffic is nice to have and you can admire the views and ski runs while climbing.
Good climb, but certainly not a must. The view is nice, but not spectacular. Good tarmac, pleasant percentages and a good length to train for the real giants in this area!
Prima klim, maar zeker geen must. Het uitzicht is mooi, maar niet spectaculair. Goed asfalt, prettige percentages en een goede lengte om te trainen voor de echte reuzen in dit gebied!
Knowing well this Station, I advise the version by St Pancrace, prettier, calmer, shadier but also more difficult than the direct road, this version begins like the others on the road of the Iron cross then quickly forks to the right.
You have to take the D78C at the quarry.
The percentages are relatively high between St Pancrace and les Bottières, sometimes flirting with 11 and 12％ in the shade of the trees.
After les Bottières it calms down until the D78 junction where you find again difficult slopes but also the big traffic until la Toussuire.
To be done in the morning in the middle of summer because it is really hot.
Good road and be careful.
I have attached the map with the above version highlighted in yellow
Connaissant bien cette Station, je conseille la version par St Pancrace, plus jolie, Plus calme, Plus ombragée mais aussi plus difficile que la route directe, cette version commence comme les autres sur la route de la croix de Fer puis bifurque rapidement à droite.
Il faut emprunter la D78C au niveau de la carrière.
Les pourcentages sont relativement élevés entre St Pancrace et les Bottières, on flirte parfois avec 11 et 12％ à l'ombre des arbres.
Après les Bottières ça se calme jusqu'au croisement de la D78 où l'on retrouve des pentes difficiles mais aussi la grande circulation jusqu'à la Toussuire.
A Faire le matin en plein été car il y fait vraiment très chaud.
Bonne route et soyez prudents.
Je vous ai joint la carte avec la version ci-dessus surlignée en jaune

Nice climb, but there is some traffic if you start from Saint-Jean-de-Vaurienne (D926 especially). Pleasant and very beautiful view (on a clear day ^^) once you arrive at the top.
Belle montée, à noter quand même un peu de circulation notamment si vous commencez depuis Saint-Jean-de-Vaurienne (D926 surtout). Agréable et très belle vue (par temps dégagé ^^) une fois arrivé en haut.
La Toussuire visited in a round trip st jean - Glandon - mollard - st jean - La Toussuire - st jean. It is a wide good road to a summer deserted ski village. The descent can therefore be driven at very high speed. There is little traffic. However, some easy on the village with a few narrow passages. Above you have a nice view but if you come from the Glandon is a bit paltry.
La Toussuire bezocht in een rondje st jean - Glandon - mollard - st jean - La Toussuire - st jean. Het is een Breede goede weg naar een in de zomer verlaten ski dorp. De afdaling kan je dan ook met zeer hoge snelheid rijden. Er is weinig verkeer. Wel even rustig aan door het dorpje met een paar smalle doorgangen. Boven heb je een aardig uitzicht maar als je van de Glandon af komt valt het een beetje in het niet.
