Done on 30 April 2024 in pleasant weather despite cloudy conditions.
I discovered this climb on ClimbFinder, even though I often pass by it, but I didn't think it was this high.
The profile only details the climb at the junction between the D66 and the VC62 that goes up to Plan du Four, but if you're coming from the Isère valley, you need to add another 100m of ascent.
For those coming from Albertville, I recommend taking the Rte de St Thomas, which is quieter than the Rte de la Bâthie.
Otherwise, for the ascent, the profile only indicates average gradients in 500M sections, but it's easier in places ( 4-5％ ) and much steeper in others ( 12-13 and even 17％ ).
The tarmac is OK for an ordinary road bike despite some badly degraded sections and care will be needed on the descent.
Arrival at Plan du Four in front of a dirt road at 1060M altitude.
The vast majority of the ascent is in the woods, leaving views over the valley in just a few places.
To sum up: A nice, quiet climb on a small, little-used road that will delight cyclists on holiday in the area.
Fait le 30 avril 2024 par une température agréable malgré un temps nuageux.
Ascension découverte sur ClimbFinder, je passe pourtant fréquemment à coté mais je ne pensais pas que cette route montait ci haut.
Le profil ne détaille l'ascension qu'au croisement entre la D66 et la VC62 qui monte au Plan du Four mais lorsque vous venez de la vallée de l'Isère Il faut ajouter 100M de dénivelé supplémentaire.
Le Plan du Four n'est pas indiqué sur les panneaux mais il faut prendre la VC62 direction le Villard, Le Cudray.
Pour ceux qui viennent d'Albertville, je conseille de passer par la Rte de St Thomas plus calme que celle de la Bâthie .
Sinon pour l'ascension, le profil n'indique que les pentes moyenne par portions de 500M mais c'est plus facile par endroits ( 4-5％ ) et beaucoup plus pentu parfois ( 12-13 et même 17％ )
Le bitume est correct pour un vélo de route ordinaire malgré certaines parties bien dégradées et la prudence sera de mise lors de la descente.
Arrivée au Plan du Four devant un chemin de terre à 1060M d'Altitude.
La grande majorité de l'ascension s'effectue dans les bois et laisse place aux vues sur la vallée juste à quelques endroits.
En résumé : Une ascension sympa et calme sur une petite route très peu fréquentée qui ravira les cyclistes en vacances dans le coin.
