Short but brutal climb, especially up to Gleysin. The surface is average or even poor in places, but it's fine on a road bike. Narrow road with little traffic in spring, landscaped on the upper part. The steepness of the slope on the way down can be appreciated...take care.... read more

Montée courte mais brutal surtout jusqu'à Gleysin. Le revêtement est moyen voire mauvais par endroits mais ça passe avec un vélo de route. Route étroite et peu fréquentée au printemps, paysagée sur la partie haute. On mesure bien la raideur de la pente à la descente...prudence.

Just to warn my fellow cyclists that on 03/04/2025 the road is closed due to a landslide.
According to the local person who gave me the information, this happens from time to time, so watch out.

Juste pour prévenir mes confrère cyclistes qu'en date du 03/04/2025 la route est fermée pour cause d'éboulement.
D'après l'autochtone qui ma donné l'info ça arrive de temps en temps alors méfiance.

A little diversions with a bang! The road is average but there's no-one around. Nice view of the Oule valley at the top.

Un petit détour qui claque ! La route est moyenne mais il n'y a personne. Belle vue sur le vallon de l'Oule en haut.
