Done on Thursday 4 August 2022 after the climb to Les Granges just next door, in the morning it's in the shade for a large part of the ascent, the gradients are regular but despite everything it's difficult.
The condition of the road varies a lot, from very good to bad to average, so you have to be careful on the descent.
Contrary to Niels1987, I fixed myself to the route indicated on the site and not taken Planbois, thus no part not tarred like on its photographs, by cons by Sauget the final is gravelled.
It is possible to make a loop by going back down through Montchavin les Coches and join the valley at Landry.
Or if you are tempted and if it is in activity this day, take the impressive Vanoise Express which will drop you off at Peisey and then descend by the road to Les Arcs to Bourg St Maurice.

Fait le jeudi 4 août 2022 après la montée des Granges juste à coté, le matin c'est à l'ombre sur une grande partie de l'ascension les pourcentages sont régulier mais malgré tout c'est difficile.
L'état de la chaussée varie beaucoup, de très bon à mauvais en passant par moyen, il faudra faire preuve de retenue lors de la descente.
Contrairement à Niels1987, je me suis fixé au trajet indiqué sur le site et non pas pris Planbois, donc pas de partie non goudronnée comme sur ses photos, par contre par le Sauget le final est gravillonné.
A savoir qu'il est possible de faire une boucle en redescendant par Montchavin les Coches et rejoindre la vallée à Landry.
Ou si vous êtes tenté et si il est en activité ce jour, prendre l'impressionnant Vanoise Express qui vous déposera à Peisey puis descendre par la route des Arcs sur Bourg St Maurice.

At the start of the climb, on the route du Plan Bois, it is already quite steep. Nevertheless, it is a fairly steady climb, the percentage is actually constantly around 9-10-11 %. So you can reasonably get into a rhythm. In the beginning you ride in open parts with here and there some houses. This is a nice part, also in the descent. Higher up, you ride more in the forest. After 7 km the road gets worse. Instead of turning left to le Sauget I decided to continue to Plan Bois. A few times the road seems to become unpaved, but all the way to Plan Bois the road is paved, although at some points you have to ride around the holes and then you have to search for the last bit of asphalt. In the last few kilometres, the combination of bad road surface and percentages which sometimes go up to 14 % makes the climb quite tough. In Plan Bois, the tarmac ends and we reach the top. By then, you are at 1826 m altitude. There is not a very nice view, but there is a restaurant. For the adventurous, you can try the unpaved road further to drive, as far as I can see, this road even back to La Plagne end. You can make this climb even longer by starting from Aime and then it goes up already after the bridge over the Isere. Just after that you can turn left on the rue de la remise in the direction of Macot. So you already have 150 altimeters in 2.6 km before the climb.

Bij de start van de klim, op de route du Plan Bois, is deze meteen al flink steil. Toch is het wel een vrij regelmatige klim, het percentage ligt eigenlijk constant rond de 9-10-11 %. Je kunt dus redelijk in een ritme komen. In het begin rijdt je regelmatig in open stukken met hier en daar wat huizen. Dit is wel een mooi stuk, ook in de afdaling. Hogerop rijdt je meer in het bos. Na een kilometer of 7 word het wegdek een stuk slechter. In plaats van linksaf te slaan naar le Sauget besloot ik door te rijden naar Plan Bois. Een paar keer lijkt de weg onverhard te worden, maar helemaal tot in Plan Bois is de weg verhard, al zal je op sommige stukken om de gaten heen moeten rijden en het is dan zoeken naar een laatste restje asfalt. In de laatste kilometers maakt de combinatie van slecht wegdek en percentages die af en toe richting 14 % gaan de klim wel pittig. In Plan Bois is het asfalt dan echt afgelopen en is de top. Dan zit je toch al op 1826 m hoogte. Hier is geen heel mooi uitzicht, maar wel een restaurant. Voor de avonturier, je kunt proberen het ongeasfalteerde stuk verder te rijden, zover ik kan zien zou je via deze weg zelfs achterlangs weer bij La Plagne uit kunnen komen. Je kunt trouwens deze klim nog iets langer maken door vanuit Aime te beginnen en dan gaat het na de brug over de Isere al omhoog. Vlak daarna kun je linksaf de rue de la remise pakken richting Macot. Zo heb je al 150 hoogtemeter in 2,6 km voordat de klim begint.
