In the hamlet of Montaulieu, the tarmac ends, but for those who like it, a gravel road continues to Col des Lantons (726m) from where you can then descend to St.Jalle on a tarmac road. Not really for road bikes, but doable with a gravel bike.
Rustige smalle weg die aanvankelijk onregelmatig langs een beekje stroomopwaarts omhoog gaat. Bij de haakse bocht naar rechts begint de klim pas echt. Door de haarspeldbochten is het net of je een grote col aan het bedwingen bent terwijl je maar naar 500m hoogte gaat. De haarspeldbochten liggen zeker niet vlak: vooral de 3e en de 5e bocht zijn echte kurkentrekkers. Ondanks dat je in beide bochten de buitenbocht hebt zijn ze bloedsteil.
In het gehuchtje Montaulieu houdt het asfalt op, maar voor de liefhebbers gaat er een gravelweg door naar Col des Lantons (726m) vanwaar je dan weer met een asfaltweggetje kan afdalen naar St.Jalle. Niet echt voor de racefiets, maar met een gravelbike goed te doen.
