Actually, they are two separate climbs because after La Tour, you descend at least 2 km before you have to start pedalling again in the direction of Udelle. During the 12 km uphill, after la Tour, we did not see anyone. And it is spicy! Especially because there is a 2 km long strip to 10-14％ just... read more

Actually, they are two separate climbs because after La Tour, you descend at least 2 km before you have to start pedalling again in the direction of Udelle. During the 12 km uphill, after la Tour, we did not see anyone. And it is spicy! Especially because there is a 2 km long strip to 10-14％ just before the end of the tunnel (tunnel on col 😉 ). After the tunnel (the col) you turn off to the Madone d'Udelle. Another 6km, but much less steep and with a mostly comfortable gradual slope. The view is overwhelming. View of the sea, and of the peaks of the Mercantour.
