Pleasant climb. Not very difficult. The road is quite bad but a road bike can pass without any problem. Once up there, you have to go down to the lake (bike on your shoulder).

Agréable montée. Pas très difficile. La route est assez abîmée mais un vélo de route passe sans soucis. Une fois là haut, il faut descendre jusqu’au lac (vélo sur l’épaule).

It was my first big climb, one of the hardest in the region. I did it on a mountain bike and that meant I didn't have too much trouble with the steep gradients at the beginning and end. However, the condition of the road varies a lot from year to year, but in my opinion, the final ramp is very likely to be punctured on a road bike. In addition, in the summer of 2021, the road was completely planed after the Cernoix bend. The scenery is not extraordinary because it is often in the forest, but the view from the top is magnificent.
PS: You can climb to the top by mountain bike and then descend via the various downhill mountain bike trails.

C'était ma première grande ascension, une des plus dures de la région. Je l'ai faite en VTT et ça m'a permis de ne pas trop avoir de mal dans les forts pourcentages du début et de la fin. Cependant, l'état de la route varie beaucoup suivant les années, ce qui est sur c'est que selon moi en vélo de route, la rampe finale présente une grande chance de crevaison. En plus, à l'été 2021, la route était complètement rabotée après le virage du Cernoix. Les paysages ne sont pas extraordinaires car souvent dans la forêt mais la vue au sommet est magnifique.
PS: Vous pouvez monter au sommet par la route en VTT puis redescendre via les différentes pistes de VTT de descente.
