Did it in a loop with the izoard and after the izoard you can assume it hurts terribly but the views are worth it

This is an unknown but tough climb. A few bends really make you lose courage. You have a nice view over the whole valley and especially on the Mont Dauphin (also a nice climb). Unfortunately it's a back and forth but that shouldn't spoil the fun the climb is well worth it if you're in the area. 👍🚴🏻♂️
