There are a lot of slope changes on this road, from 10-15% to -3/-4%, on a surface that is hazardous to say the least. Fortunately, the view is worth the effort, with the magnificent Lac de Serre Poncon and the surrounding mountains, because the route is far from being a pleasure, at least for me, as I like a nice, regular pass with a road in good condition (unfortunately, the opposite is true here).

Enormément de ruptures de pentes sur cette route, on passe de 10-15% à -3/-4%, sur un revêtement pour le moins hasardeux. Heureusement que la vue en vaut la chandelle avec le magnifique Lac de Serre Poncon et les montagnes environnantes, car la route est très loin d'être une partie de plaisir, en tout cas pour ma part, aimant les beaux cols réguliers avec une route en bon état (là ici c'est tout l'inverse malheureusement)

If you are looking for a nice not-too-hard climb where you can enjoy beautiful views over the lake Lac de Serre Poncon, this is highly recommended.

A solid start followed by some flatter sections and even some metres downhill. Unfortunately some gravel on the road here and there.

Just before the end a nice surprise with a steep section to 22% (written on the road) after which you reach the top. After this I continued to the top of the Cote de Saint Apollinaire where the Tour passed.

Als je op zoek bent naar een leuke niet al te zware klim waarbij je kan genieten van een mooi uitzicht over het meer Lac de Serre Poncon is dit een echte aanrader.

Een stevig begin gevolgd door wat vlakkere stukken en zelfs wat meters in dalende lijn. Helaas wel her en der wat grind op de weg.

Vlak voor het einde een leuke verrassing met een steil stuk tot 22% (staat op de weg geschreven) waarna je boven komt. Zelf hierna door gereden naar de top van de Cote de Saint Apollinaire waar de Tour passeerde.

From Embrun (at the Avia petrol station) the climb starts. It goes up immediately. The climb ends above a beautiful gorge.

Vanuit Embrun (bij het Avia benzinestation) gaat begint de klim. Het gaat meteen goed omhoog. De klim eindigt boven een prachtige kloof.

Actually, the climb is longer. Goes up to Le Méans. Then about 10 km. It is on the D9 and part of the Route des Puys. That is a loop around the eastern part of Lac Serre Poncon. So Embrun, Les Puys, Prunières and Savines-le-Lac. Beautiful route of 45 km. Is well marked with every km a sign.

Eigenlijk is de klim langer. Loopt door tot Le Méans. Dan zo'n 10 km. Het is de D9 volgen en onderdeel van de Route des Puys. Dat is een lusje om het Oostelijk deel van Lac Serre Poncon. Dus Embrun, Les Puys, Prunières en Savines-le-Lac. Mooie route om te fietsen van 45 km. Staat goed aangegeven met elke km een bordje.
