Thousands of cyclists pass this climb every year and almost nobody rides up it. Everyone rides towards the Agnel or the Izoard, but the climb to the Montbardon is more than worth it. Good tarmac, 10 steep hairpins and parts up to 17％ The view is great. It's a shame it's a back and forth,... read more

Nice trip compared to the D-road for extra altimeters.
Starts pretty steep, but if you make yourself angry at this climb you are also so top. Is not super heavy to 'there to do'.
In the village you can relax on a bench and fill your water bottle.
