A very short climb of 3.5km on a crazy gradient. A single hairpin bend a little after the start then a long straight stretch where you have to manage your effort. Crossing Le Sappey after 2.5km, there's around 1km left still on a terrible gradient with passage at 17％. The traffic is very calm and the scenery magnificent, but it's worth it.... read more

A very short climb of 3.5km on a crazy gradient.

Crossing Le Sappey after 2.5km, there's around 1km left still on a terrible gradient with passage at 17％.
The traffic is very calm and the scenery magnificent, but it's worth it.

Une ascension très courte de 3,5km dans une pente de folie.
Un seul lacet un peu après le départ ensuite une grande ligne droite en enfilade où il faut gérer l'effort.
Traversée du Sappey après 2,5km , il reste environ 1km toujours dans une pente terrible avec passage à 17％.
La circulation est très calme et les paysages magnifiques, mais ça ce mérite.
