A pleasant climb with little traffic. This climb is in two parts. The first 6 km are not very steep but the road is rough and tiring with changes of pace due to the uneven profile. The second part is steeper and the percentages are there. The road is still gravelly, which increases the difficulty. When you reach the racetrack, the last km is difficult and steep. At the top you can stop to take a breather if you feel like it before tackling the technical descent with its uneven surface, where caution is called for.
Montée agréable pour sa faible circulation. Cette montée est en deux partie. La première sur les 6 premiers kms ne présentent pas des pourcentages importants mais la route est rugueuse et usante avec des changements de rythme dus au profil inégal. La deuxième partie est plus raide et les pourcentages sont là. La route est toujours granuleuse, ce qui augmente la difficulté. Arrivé au niveau du circuit automobile , le dernier km est difficile et pentu. En haut vous pouvez vous arrêter pour souffler si le cœur vous en dit avant d'attaquer la descente un peu technique et son revêtement inégal ou la prudence sera de mise.
