A pleasant climb along a road that’s been patched up, then patched up again over the patches…

A few tourists heading up to see the Rouget waterfall. The traffic is very manageable.
The gradients are never really gruelling, but it’s a good climb.
The Rouget Waterfall, known as ‘the Queen of the Alps’, is 90 metres high and is well worth a short stop on the way back.
Further up, continuing along Le Lignon, you’ll come across lots of abandoned farms and chalets.
The cirque and the waterfall are two lovely walks not to be missed.
Une montée agréable sur une route rafistolée, puis rafistolée à nouveau sur les rafistolages…
J’exagère : son revêtement ou plutôt ses diverses qualités de revêtement vont du meilleur (tronçon refait à neuf) à de l’acceptable (nombreux pansements sur ce pauvre tarmac).
Quelques touristes qui montent découvrir la cascade du Rouget. Une circulation très supportable.
Les pourcentages ne sont jamais vraiment douloureux, mais, ça grimpe bien.
Cette cascade du Rouget, « la reine des Alpes » mesure 90 mètres et elle méritera bien une courte halte au retour.
Plus haut, en poursuivant sur Le Lignon, on croise beaucoup de fermes et chalets abandonnés.
Le cirque et la cascade sont deux chouettes balades à ne pas manquer.
