4.0 by RogierThis is an automatic translation, the original language is: Dutch.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, otherwise this climb would get 5 stars. But if you drive by, do it!... read more

When you stay in Guillestre, you'll be tackling the superb Col Agnel and the sublime Izoard. And rightly so! But there are other climbs that are well worth the diversions.
Montbard on is one of them. Nearly 10％ on average, it stings especially when it's hot. I remember having a hard time of it but really enjoying this climb.
More than a warm-up before Agnel...
Yes, do it!
Quand on séjourne à Guillestre, on va affronter le superbe col Agnel et le sublime Izoard. Et on a bien raison ! Mais, d’autres ascensions valent vraiment le détour.
Montbard on est l’une d’entre elles. Près de 10％ de moyenne, ça pique surtout quand il fait chaud. Je me souviens en avoir bavé mais avoir beaucoup aimé cette côte.
Plus qu’un échauffement avant Agnel…
Oui, à faire !
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.
Leuk uitstapje t.o.v. de D-weg voor extra hoogtemeters.
Begint behoorlijk steil, maar als je jezelf kwaad maakt op deze klim ben je ook zo boven. Is niet super zwaar om 'erbij te doen'.
In het dorpje kan je uitpuffen op een bankje en je bidon vullen.

Duizenden wielrenners fietsen elk jaar langs deze klim en bijna niemand rijdt hem omhoog. Iedereen rijdt richting de Agnel of de Izoard, maar de klim naar de Montbardon is de moeite meer dan waard. Prima asfalt, 10 steile haarspeldbochten en stukken tot 17％ Het uitzicht is geweldig mooi. Alleen jammer dat het een heen-en-weer is anders zou deze klim 5 sterren krijgen. Maar als je er langs rijdt, zeker doen!
