This is a nice climb. If you don't mind a short section of gravel road (very doable, even on a road bicycle), you can connect with D48a to Giron or La Pesse).

Very difficult climb. At the top you have a beautiful view towards Lac de Bourget.
I found it very worthwhile.

A dry climb of barely 5 km, but with an average of more than 10％ and a brutal initial section, it is best to manage your effort well. Well rewarded by the grandiose panorama below and a spectacular rocky landscape. Beware of the many gravels and even stones on the road, especially on the way back down!
